Distribution of lick frequencies during free access to ethanol during initiation drinking.

601–1200 2.06 ± 0.16 2.11 ± 0.17
1201–1800 0.38 ± 0.07 0.47 ± 0.07

The number of licks on ethanol sippers during five minute bouts was recorded. Since animals sometimes alternated between 6% and 12% ethanol, these are combined for this analysis. Bouts were then divided into four ranges: low, medium, high, and very high. During initiation drinking, pHSV-HA1B/GFP animals significantly increased very high range licking frequency. Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
