Introduction. Adolescence is a period of life characterized by impulsive behavior and risky decision making (DM) which is associated with onset and progression in alcohol consumption. Aim. Assess the effect of the pattern of alcohol consumption (PAC) over DM executive function (EF) and impulsivity in an 18- to 30-year-old college sample. Methods. A prospective ex-post facto design was used to assess PAC effect over DM and impulsivity. IGT, GDT, and CBT were used to assess DM, WCST to assess executive function and UPPS-P sub-scales to assess impulsivity. Results. Participants classified as Binge and Heavy drinkers had the worst performance on IGT and CBT and were higher in all dimensions of UPPS-P, except to Positive Urgency. Additionally, they have less correct answers on WCST. Conclusion. This data allows to conclude severe PAC has effects on neurocognitive performance in young.Downloads
