What does the study involve?

After an eligibility screening (including a medical assessment), if eligible and interested in the study, you will come in 3 times over 3 consecutive weeks to receive study medication, alcohol, or a placebo in a blinded study (only one substance per session).

You will complete a series of questionnaires and memory tests, alongside some stress-related tasks (evaluated maths tasks and submerging your arm in ice water for a short time). This study also involves blood and urine tests for substance use.

You may be eligible to participate in this study if you:

• Are aged between 18 to 65 years
• Previous experience of amphetamines (such as ADHD medication, cocaine, MDMA/ecstasy) and alcohol
• Adequate cognition and English to consent and complete the study
