Abstract
Rats were given access to wine [19% (v/v) ethanol] in their home cages. Food and water were continuously available. Throughout 168 days of observation, the Ss consumed substantial quantities of wine and greater amounts of ethanol than are usually reported. Wine appears to be a suitably palatable solution for animal studies of alcoholism.
