Abstract
Ethanol-drinking was induced in laboratory rats that were maintained in total darkness. The established preference for ethanol was not reversed under conditions of constant illumination although a decrease in ethanol intake occurred. Administration of melatonin to rats maintained under "normal" photoperiods (9 hours of darkness during a 24-hour day) also induced ethanol-drinking.Keywords
