Financial motives and alcohol-related compensatory behaviours across adulthood: A cross-sectional study of UK drinkers.
Review in Addictive behaviors reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: Food and alcohol disturbance (FAD) refers to behaviours in which individuals modify food intake around drinking episodes, often to offset the caloric content of alcohol or enhance intoxication. These behaviours have been widely studied in student populations, but less is known about their prevalence and correlates in broader adult samples. This study examined alcohol-related compensatory behaviours and their associations with demographic, psychological and contextual factors, including financial motives for drinking, in UK adult drinkers. Method: A cross-sectional survey examined associations between demographic, psychological and contextual factors, including financial motives, and engagement in alcohol-related compensatory behaviours in adults ( Results: Engagement in at least one alcohol-related compensatory behaviour was common, with 64% of participants endorsing at least one behaviour. Total CEBRACS scores were negatively associated with age, indicating higher engagement among younger participants (f Conclusions: Alcohol-related compensatory behaviours were reported across adulthood and appear to be shaped by financial motives for drinking. These findings highlight the role of economic context in alcohol-related decision making and support extending research beyond student populations.
