Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the potential for pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) interactions between ASP8062 and alcohol.

This study will also assess safety and tolerability of a single dose of ASP8062 with or without alcohol.

Detailed description: Participants will be admitted to the clinical unit on day -1 of each period and will be residential for 6 days/5 nights. Participants will be discharged from the clinical unit on day 5 of each period on the condition that all required assessments have been performed and that there are no medical reasons for a longer stay in the clinical unit. Participants will return to the clinical unit on days 7 and 10 for pharmacokinetic blood sampling.

* Subject currently consumes alcohol regularly but does not meet the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-5) criteria for alcohol use disorders and subject is able to consume 3 to 4 standard drinks at 1 occasion without causing excessive intoxication.
