Abstract: | The natural aversion of rats to ethanol was overcome by subjecting rats to immobilization stress for a two-week period during which increasing concentrations of ethanol were offered in the drinking water. The rats subjected to this regimen consumed 47% of total calories as ethanol, indefinitely, following removal of the stress. Ethanol was consumed at a rate of 17.1 g/kg body weight along with sufficient stock diet to assure adequate nutrition in the absence of ethanol. |
