Short Abstract

Binge-drinking during adolescence produces long-lasting alterations in brain circuitry that underlie the processing of rewarding stimuli. The current study sought to determine the effect of adolescent exposure to chronic intermittent ethanol (AIE) on the consumption of, and motivation to obtain, sucrose solution in adulthood. Overall, the data suggest that exposure to AIE, which approximates binge-like EtOH intake and dependence, differentially affects consumatory and appetitive behavior in response to a non-drug reward in adulthood.
