Real-time assessment of alcohol drinking and drug use in opioid-dependent polydrug users.

abstract：:Rats were maintained on a daily regimen involving a 2h opportunity to take both water and a sweetened alcoholic beverage (12% ethanol, 0.25% saccharin). After 3 weeks on this regimen, rats regularly take substantial amounts of alcohol. After stabilization, injections of alpha(2)-adrenergic antagonists were administere...
