A female alcohol-preferring (P) rat presses a lever in an operant chamber. Each time the lever is pressed, 0.1 milliliter of alcohol solution is delivered into a well to the right of the lever. P rats work to obtain alcohol solutions at concentrations as high as 40 percent (the typical concentration of unmixed hard liquors, such as straight whiskeys).
