Panel A compares 2-hour 20% ethanol intake (g/kg) for male C57BL/6J mice in the limited access “binge” drinking procedure (DID, white, n = 12), continuous access (CA, light gray, n = 11), and intermittent access (IA, black, n = 15) procedures. IA intake (g/kg) was significantly higher than both DID and CA intake. Data are mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 difference between groups. Panel B shows the correlation between ethanol intake (g/kg/2h) and blood ethanol concentrations (BEC) (mg/dl) after 2-hour access period for a subset of individuals in the IA (black circles, n = 10) and CA (light gray, n = 8) schedules of ethanol presentation.
