Drinking behavior after THIP in mice categorized using vaginal cytology or vaginal impedance. Mice were given 3 weeks of access to alcohol to induce stable and high limited-access consumption. A) Using vaginal cytology to characterize estrous status, estrus females consumed significantly less alcohol following THIP administration (**p<0.01, compared to vehicle). B) Using vaginal impedance to characterize estrous status in these females, we similarly find that estrus females consumed significantly less alcohol following THIP and see no reduction in intake for THIP treated non-estrus mice (**p<0.01, compared to vehicle; n’s = 5–11/estrous status/dose).
