... One possibility is that AS may be related more to alcohol problems and less to alcohol consumption, which further tends to weaken the relationship between AS and hazardous drinking since AUDIT total scores partially consist of AUDIT Alcohol Consumption (with the other AUDIT subfactor being Alcohol Problems). Indeed, though several studies have reported a relation between AS and greater alcohol consumption (Cox, Swinson, Shulman, Kuch, & Reichman, 1993;Lammers, Kuntsche, Engels, Wiers, & Kleinjan, 2013;Paulus, Manning, et al., 2017;Stewart, Peterson, & Pihl, 1995;Stewart, Zvolensky, & Eifert, 2001), the large majority of studies have not found evidence of an association between AS and greater alcohol consumption (Buckner, Bonn-Miller, Zvolensky, & Schmidt, 2007;Chavarria et al., 2015;Guillot et al., 2018;Johnson et al., 2008;Leyro, Zvolensky, Vujanovic, & Bernstein, 2008;Novak, Burgess, Clark, Zvolensky, & Brown, 2003;Paulus, Valadka, et al., 2017;Paulus, Vujanovic, & Wardle, 2016;Woicik, Stewart, Pihl, & Conrod, 2009;Zvolensky et al., 2007), including the current study. Also concordant with this possibility, the evidence for an association between AS and hazardous drinking (AUDIT total scores) has been mixed, with some studies reporting evidence of this association (Guillot et al., 2018;Paulus, Manning, et al., 2017;Zvolensky et al., 2019;Zvolensky et al., 2014) and other studies not finding evidence of this association (Bakhshaie, Zvolensky, Allan, Vujanovic, & Schmidt, 2015;Haas et al., 2019;Paulus, Valadka, et al., 2017;Zvolensky, Kotov, Antipova, & Schmidt, 2003), including the current study. ...
