Study Summary

This study uses positron emission tomography imaging of the 18-kDa translocator protein to measure the brain's immune response to alcohol.

Primary Outcome

This is the percent change in \[11C\]PBR28 distribution volume (V\_T) post-alcohol relative to baseline. This is calculated as \[V\_T(Post-Alcohol) - V\_T(Baseline)\]/V\_T(Baseline) As a percent change, it could range from -10% to 200%.
