Conducted a survey to determine how aware drinkers are of the situational determinants of alcohol ( N = 64). Findings showed that social drinkers were well aware of the effects of different settings on the quantity consumed and the effects experienced. These findings suggest the need for caution in generalizing laboratory findings conducted under „non‐natural” conditions to practical applications.
