Ethanol drinking by rhesus monkeys as a function of concentration.
Ethanol deliveries maintained fixed-ratio (FR) responding of three rhesus monkeys during daily 3-h sessions. At FR values of 8 or 16, ethanol concentration was varied in the sequence 0 (water), 8, 11.3, 16, 22.6 32, 8, and 0% (w/v). As the ethanol concentration increased, number of liquid deliveries decreased somewhat. Blood ethanol levels were usually greater than 200 mg% and occasionally greater than 300 mg%.
