Intentional self-restraint may play an important role in the control of potentially addictive behavior. Unfortunately, for some individuals, efforts to reduce substance use may prove not only temporary but to increase the likelihood of a later "binge." An experimental study examined the relationship between prior self-restraint efforts and drinking. Results indicated that successfully restrained drinkers (i.e., those individuals who reported exerting considerable effort toward drinking self-control, and who were normatively successful, that is, light drinkers) responded to the sudden availability of alcohol with increased levels of consumption, relative to unrestrained drinkers at a similar level of habitual drinking. There was no such effect among unsuccessfully restraining (i.e., heavy) drinkers. These results suggest that a period of successful drinking restraint which is initiated by the individual, may lead to heightened subsequent alcohol consumption.
有意识的自我克制可能在控制潜在成瘾行为中发挥重要作用。不幸的是，对一些人来说，减少物质使用的努力可能不仅是暂时的，而且会增加日后“暴饮暴食”的可能性。一项实验研究考察了先前自我克制努力与饮酒之间的关系。结果表明，成功克制饮酒者（即那些报告在饮酒自控方面付出了相当大努力且在规范上成功的人，也就是轻度饮酒者）与习惯饮酒水平相似的无节制饮酒者相比，在突然有酒精供应时饮酒量会增加。在未成功克制饮酒者（即重度饮酒者）中没有这种效果。这些结果表明，由个人发起的一段成功的饮酒克制期可能会导致随后饮酒量增加。
