Abstract

Number of ethanol reinforcements obtained and ethanol intake (mg/100 g body weight/hr) of 3 food-deprived rats were measured over a range of dipper volumes during daily 1 hr sessions. The rats had free access to water in their home cages between sessions. Ethanol concentration was 8 percent (W/V); each response was reinforced. As the volume per reinforcement increased, ethanol intake tended to increase, while the number of reinforcements obtained decreased systematically. Responding was maintained by 8 percent (W/V) ethanol but not by water.
