"...Deficits in Attention and Executive Function are among
the most consistent neuropsychological findings in samples of
both adults and adolescents who abuse alcohol (Crews and
Boettiger, 2009; Giancola and Moss, 1998). In the current
analyses, drinking intensity, but not age or frequency of alcohol
or marijuana use, significantly predicted performance on
Attention and Executive Function composites. The current
results are consistent with those of Tapert and colleagues
(2002), who found that adolescents’ cumulative alcohol use
over an 8-year period predicted attention scores, even after
controlling for demographic factors and baseline performance.
Moreover, although other studies have reported Executive
Function deficits in adolescent substance users (e.g.,
Giancola et al., 2001), the current study is the first to establish
an association between the quantity of alcohol typically consumed
on a drinking day and Executive Function..."
