Controlled and Behaviorally Relevant Levels of Oral Ethanol Intake in Rhesus Macaques Using a Flavorant‐Fade Procedure

Abstract

The flavorant-fading procedure was effective in producing behaviorally relevant levels of ethanol consumption in rhesus macaques. This model facilitated a randomized-dose procedure to determine the behavioral effects of 0.5 to 3.0 g/kg of ethanol. This procedure therefore is of significant utility in determining behavioral or physiologic effects of specific doses of consumed ethanol in monkeys.
