Caffeine: preferential consumption by rats.
The present experiment explored the effect of forced daily consumption of large amounts of caffeine (analogous to that of heavy coffee drinkers) upon the subsequent intake of caffeine in a free-choice situation. It was found that forced caffeine consumption is directly related to subsequent free-choice intake and that a flavor associated with the forced caffeine is not preferred.
