An experiment tested the hypothesis that alcohol intoxication will increase aggression only if the subject is experiencing the intoxicated state as displeasing. Forty males drank either 0.8 mL of pure alcohol/kg body weight or a placebo drink and were then exposed to either a pleasant or an unpleasant mood manipulation. Following this, they were given the chance to aggress in a modified version of the Buss "aggression machine" paradigm. All subjects were observed under varying levels of frustration. Results indicated that alcohol-drinking subjects were more aggressive than placebo-drinking subjects, and that both intoxicated and sober subjects increased their aggression when frustrated. Intoxicated subjects in a pleasant mood were most aggressive under both provocative and nonprovocative conditions. The hypothesis was not supported and results are discussed in relation to different theoretical models and in relation to results from other similar studies.
