Study Summary

Nearly 18% of United States adults meet criteria for alcohol dependence sometime in their lifetime, with only 24% of those individuals ever receiving any treatment for their disorder (Hasin et al., 2007). The pervasiveness of alcohol dependence indicates a need for continued development of high-impact treatments that are both effective and easily disseminated to a broad population. Recent evidence indicates that Episodic Future Thinking (EFT), the ability to self-project and pre-experience a future event, can help individuals to make changes to habitual behaviors, such as alcohol drinking (Snider et al., 2016). In this study, the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of EFT to help individuals reduce alcohol consumption. The investigators anticipate that EFT will result in a reduction in alcohol consumption over a 2-week experimental period when compared to the control group.
