Gestational drinking behavior. (A) Alcohol intake (expressed in g/kg/day) during gestational days over 9 drinking sessions in female rats exposed to the home cage, 2-bottle “alcohol vs. water” choice regimen, under the following conditions: CAR, 20% v/v alcohol with continuous access; IAR, 20% v/v alcohol with intermittent access. Bonferroni post-hoc test indicated a significant decrease in IAR with respect to CAR on GD3 (t = 3.794, p < 0.01), GD5 (t = 3.252, p < 0.05), GD8 (t = 3.779, p < 0.01), GD15 (t = 2.856, p < 0.05), and GD19 (t = 3.799, p < 0.01). (B) Total sum of alcohol consumed over the entire period. (C) Total fluid intake (ml) in CAR over the 3 gestational weeks. (D) Total fluid intake (ml) in IAR over the 3 gestational weeks. (E) Mean fluid consumption over the entire period. Each point or bar is the mean ± S.E.M. of n = 8 rats. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. CAR.
