Electrophysiological correlates of performance monitoring in binge drinking: Impaired error-related but preserved feedback processing

Binge drinking is an alcohol consumption pattern characterized by alternations between intense alcohol intakes and abstinence periods (Courtney and Polich, 2009). Despite the lack of consensus regarding its definition, this habit is now widespread in young people in Western countries (e.g., Kanny et al., 2013). As a matter of fact, binge drinking is no longer considered as a recreational and occasional alcohol consumption activity, but rather as a risky behavior with major cognitive consequences (e.g., in memory or attentional processes; Hartley et al., 2004; Heffernan and O'Neill, 2012).
