Prior studies show modest yet consistent associations between problematic alcohol use and delayed reward discounting (DRD). However, the potential confounding influence of socioeconomic status (SES, e.g., income and education) is rarely addressed. In this study, we aimed to investigate the robustness of DRD as a predictor of alcohol use after controlling for socioeconomic and demographic variables. Additionally, we aimed to test the association between delayed loss discounting (DLD) and alcohol use in a sufficiently large sample.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We collected data from 341 moderate\u2010to\u2010heavy\u2010drinking participants (27.92\u2009\u00b1\u200921.12\u2009g alcohol\/day, 43.48\u2009\u00b1\u200911.90\u2009years old, 49.9% female, UK residents) in a cross\u2010sectional online study.
