The role of cytochrome P4502E1 in ethanol mediated diseases: a narrative update
The activity of cytochrome P450 (CYP2E1) as part of the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system increases following chronic alcohol consumption which results in oxidative stress contributing to alcohol-associated liver disease (AALD) and cancer. CYP2E1 also toxify some drugs and PCs, and decreases retinoic acid. Inhibition of CYP2E1 improves alcoholic liver diseases (ALD) even in humans.

Variables affecting acquisition and maintenance of operant ethanol self-administration in male and female Long-Evans rats
Short summary
Three weeks of intermittent-access two-bottle choice ethanol drinking offers no advantage as an initiation procedure for operant ethanol self-administration over animals that are ethanol-naïve prior to training. In addition, shortening the operant session duration does not always increase overall intake or promote binge-like patterns of intake for either ethanol or sucrose reinforcer.
Web-based interventions for treatment-seeking individuals with hazardous alcohol consumption: analysis of clinical characteristics and motives for abstinence
Short summary
This study compares users and nonusers of the web-based intervention 'Ohne Alkohol mit Nathalie' (OAMN). OAMN primarily attracts well-educated women and is used both as a standalone and complementary tool. OAMN users more frequently reported intrinsic motives for abstinence. Non-OAMN users reported higher AUDIT scores and more psychiatric comorbidities.

An exploratory pilot study to assess drinking at bars or events located within grocery stores
Short summary
Grocery stores are an emerging alcohol establishment that have created atmospheres encouraging alcohol while shopping and/or socializing called ‘sip and shop’. These bring in older customers than you see at traditional bars. However, the effects of these locations on alcohol-related problems are unknown and an important area for study.
