This article presents a formulation of the association between alcohol consumption and suicidal behavior derived from recent advances in the area of social cognition. It is suggested that the social cognitive mechanism of alcohol‐induced myopia may serve an important role in developing a comprehensive conceptualization of the alcohol‐suicide relationship. Implications for practitioners and ethical considerations of further research in this area are discussed.
