  • Total liquid intake of a 5% or a 10% ethanol solution and water over a period of three weeks by SA and SD mice were measured in the two-bottle choice test. The measured values were divided by the number of days to obtain putative daily averages. Data are mean ± SD; p values are comparisons with WT/WT obtained using unpaired two-tailed Welch’s t tests.
