'Wasted' and 'hammered' versus 'buzzed' and 'tipsy' is more than just semantics

[unable to retrieve full-text content]Prior research found that women tended to use moderate self-referral terms for intoxication, whereas men used heavy terms. New findings confirm that men's drinking is generally described in terms indicative of excessive consumption while women tend to couch drinking in more moderate terms. These labels of intoxication may impact perceptions and subsequent behaviors, but also inform tailored measures for prevention and intervention.
