Active Comparator: Conditionning

Other: Evaluative Conditionning Task
A word will appear in one of the four quadrants on the computer screen. They will have to answer the word as quickly as possible by pressing the space bar. They will also be told that an image will be displayed briefly (400 ms) in the same quadrant by pressing the answer key. This procedure will be repeated for 120 trials: 30 trials with alcohol-related Conditional Stimulus (CS), 30 trials with CS related to non-alcoholic beverages and 60 trials with the CS of filling. The CS referring to alcohol will be the words Beer, Wine …; The CS referring to soft drinks will be the words Coca-Cola, Fanta… and Filling CS referring to vegetables and fruits will be: Apple, Banana…In experimental conditions, alcohol-related CS will be followed by negative Unconditional Stimuli (US) (images from the International Affective Picture System (Lang, Bradley, & Cuthbert, 1997)), CS referring to soft drinks linked to positive images and CS referring to fruits and vegetables will be linked to neutral US.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The reduction of automatic or implicit associations of Alcohol with positive affect. [baseline]
It will be evaluated by calculating the difference between the scores of the IAT task before and after the Evaluative Conditioning.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The reduction in the total amount of alcohol consumed [week 2]
The reduction in the total amount of alcohol consumed (TAC: Total Alcohol Consumption) as well as the number of Heavy Drinking Day (HDD) over the 12-week period following treatment, with respect to the baseline time. The baseline time is the week before randomization. Consumption of alcohol (total quantity and consumption habits) during this period will be considered as a baseline. The HDD corresponds to the days of consumption of more than 60 grams of pure alcohol (men) or 40 grams (women).
- The reduction in the total amount of alcohol consumed [month 3]
The reduction in the total amount of alcohol consumed (TAC: Total Alcohol Consumption) as well as the number of Heavy Drinking Day (HDD) over the 12-week period following treatment, with respect to the baseline time. The baseline time is the week before randomization. Consumption of alcohol (total quantity and consumption habits) during this period will be considered as a baseline. The HDD corresponds to the days of consumption of more than 60 grams of pure alcohol (men) or 40 grams (women).
