Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alcohol priming is the term used to describe the urge to consume more alcohol after having consumed one or more drinks. It is thought to be caused by the initial alcohol exposure altering the brain's reward system, making the individual more susceptible to future alcohol consumption. Hormesis refers to the beneficial effects of low doses of toxins or stressors, impulsivity refers to the tendency to act without thinking, and alcohol craving is a general desire to consume alcohol, regardless of prior consumption.
