UNLV psychology professor and addictions expert Shane W. Kraus partnered on research into the links between sports gambling and binge drinking.

“Our study suggests that sports bettors appear to use alcohol in particularly risky ways,” said study co-author Shane W. Kraus, a professor of psychology who serves as director of the UNLV Behavioral Addictions Lab. “Therefore, more education is needed to inform people around the possible risks of heavy alcohol use while also wagering on sports.”
