  • Title: Effect of cued and uncued inescapable shock on voluntary alcohol consumption in rats.
    Author: Kinney L, Schmidt H.
    Journal: Pharmacol Biochem Behav; 1979 Dec; 11(6):601-4. PubMed ID: 575424.
    Abstract:
    Rats were given cued and uncued inescapable shock; their voluntary alcohol intake was compared to a group given a yoked cue but no shock. Results suggested that, unlike uncued inescapable shock, cued inescapable shock caused an increase in voluntary alcohol intake, although the increase was insufficient to produce overt inebriation. It was suggested that the increase which occurred was due to a combination of adjunctive drinking and a gustatory and olfactory discrimination breakdown, both occurring in direct response to shock.
