Figure 1. Peak blood alcohol levels.
BALs were assessed within 1 hour of ethanol administration. During the first two weeks of ethanol administration, mean peak BALs remained above 400 mg/dl and dropped during the last week of treatment to 300–400 mg/dl. Peak BALs in mice receiving water remained consistently low throughout the duration of the experiment. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001
