Brain sensitivity to alcohol in inbred mouse strains. 1966

R Kakihana, and D R Brown, and G E McClearn, and I R Tabershaw

The voluntary selection of aqueous ethanol in preference to water has been studied in a number of animal species. A pharmacological phenomenon observed in all species, including humans, is depression of the central nervous system which eventually leads to "sleep." The sleeping time at a given concentration of alcohol in the brain depends on strain sensitivity.
