Blood ethanol concentrations (BECs) assessed at various phases of experimentation.

Males Females
Time of Sample Water Ethanol Water Ethanol Interaction Term
8th Cycle BEC 6.52 ± 1.40 19.00 ± 4.07 # 6.55 ± 2.32 15.28 ± 3.40 # F(1,32) = 10.757,
p < 0.01
18th Cycle BEC 8.80 ± 0.83 17.85 ± 4.35 # 5.90 ± 1.11 14.82 ± 3.02 # F(1,32) = 8.441,
p < 0.01
Final Drinking Test BEC 5.84 ± 0.47 5.56 ± 0.40 6.07 ± 0.90 4.75 ± 0.60 F(1,31) = 0.788,
p > 0.05

Values represent mean ± SEM and are provided in mg/dL. A main effect (#) was observed, such that animals consuming ethanol, regardless of sex, had higher BECs.
