Guided by research demonstrating that intoxication impairs cognitive processing, this study examined the effects of drinking on goal-related appraisals and communication behavior during cooperative interactions. In it, 42 male teams played four rounds of a cooperative game whereby one person produced clues and the other guessed the category the clues described. One partner was sober and the other was randomly assigned to drinking condition (sober or breath alcohol count of .08 g/dl). Analyses compared the appraisals and behaviors of the participant randomly assigned to drinking condition. Intoxicated participants felt less anxious and judged games as less challenging yet did not feel they had more control compared to their sober counterparts. Behaviorally, intoxicated participants exhibited more persistence yet were less flexible in goal pursuit than were sober participants. Ultimately, intoxicated–sober dyads had more success than did sober–sober dyads. Implications for message production under the influence of alcohol are discussed.
