List of the different genetically selected alcohol-preferring and nonpreferring lines available

Rat line	Predictive	Face	Construct	Notes
UChB/UChA	NA	+	+++	Not enough information to evaluate its predictive value.
AA/ANA	++	++	+	Little data are available to evaluate the construct validity of this rat line
P/NP	++	+++	+++	The only line shown to voluntarily drink alcohol to intoxication
sP/sNP	++	++	++	Alcohol preference was co-segregated with heightened anxiety and depressive-like traits
HAD/LAD	++	++	++	Best genetic criteria for line selection
msP	+++	++	+++	Nonpreferring line is not available. The msP showed the highest predictive validity

Not available (NA), acceptable (+), good (++); very good (+++)
