AB  - OBJECTIVES: This study assessed self-reported prospective memory and related 
      central executive processes in a group of excessive alcohol users and non-users. 
      The aim was to assess whether excessive alcohol use is associated with 
      impairments in these two sets of memory processes. METHODS: Eighty participants 
      from the North-East of England were tested. Of these, 40 were excessive alcohol 
      users (using above the recommended weekly 'safe' dose of alcohol) and 40 were 
      low-dose/non-users. Each participant was assessed using self-reports of 
      prospective memory (PM) - measured using the Prospective Memory Questionnaire 
      (PMQ) and central executive (CE) processes - measured using the Dysexecutive 
      Questionnaire (DEX). Other drug use, age and strategy use were incorporated into 
      the study as controls. RESULTS: After controlling for other drug use, age, and 
      strategy use, excessive alcohol users reported global impairments in everyday 
      prospective memory and in their central executive processes, when compared to a 
      low-dose/no-alcohol control group. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that 
      excessive alcohol use has a detrimental impact upon everyday memory - a 
      relatively unexplored area of research. PM and CE deficits should be added to the 
      growing list of neuropsychological sequelae associated with chronic excessive 
      alcohol use.
