Blood ethanol concentration (BEC) after intragastric (IG) administration of sweetened ethanol (10S10E) in ethanol-naïve adolescents and adults. Adolescents had a significantly lower BEC at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min post-administration compared with adults (*** denotes p<0.001; A). Adolescents exhibited significantly lower estimated peak BEC (** p<0.01; B), and estimated peak BEC occurred at a significantly sooner time point (* p<0.05; C), compared to adults. The linear portion of the ethanol elimination time course was not significantly different in adolescents compared with adults (D). Adoles. = Adolescent. Group numbers at each time point range from 5-9 for adolescents, and 5-10 for adults for A; group numbers are displayed inside bars for B-D. Bars and points represent mean ± SEM. For A, vertical error bars are obscured by the size of the symbols, and horizontal error bars indicate ± SEM of sampling time.
