Interactions of age, sex and long-term alcohol intake in selectively bred strains of rats.
The alcohol consumption by five genotypes of rats was studied in two experiments. Alcohol intake was age-dependent in rats bred for high emotional reactivity and avoidance conditionability. Differences in consumption by sex appeared to be primarily due to differences in body weight.
