Effect of lithium on voluntary alcohol consumption by low and high preference mouse strains.
Lithium chloride was administered to high (C57/B1) and low (BALB/c) alcohol mouse strains. Experience with alcohol, lithium dosage, frequency of drug administration, concentration of alcohol solution, and sex were varied in four consecutive experiments. In contrast to previous findings no significant effects of lithium administration on alcohol consumption were observed.
