Summary
Following surgical construction of a chronic end-to-side portacaval shunt, rats consumed more 6% ethanol than their controls in a schedule-induced polydipsia paradigm during the baseline condition and during intermittent food delivery. Blood enthanol was higher in rats with portacaval shunts than in controls following the final test session.
