Drinking Patterns during Work-Contingent and NonContingent Alcohol Acquisition*
Abstract
Drinking patterns of alcoholics were compared under conditions which allowed unrestricted access to alcohol (N = 18), and where it was necessary to perform a simple operant task in order to obtain both alcohol and cigarettes (N = 8). Work-contingent alcohol acquisition was characterized by alternations between drinking episodes of 3-6 days, and relatively abstinent work periods of 2-3 days which were usually associated with partial withdrawal signs and symptoms. Subjects given unrestricted access to alcohol (32 ounces/day) maintained stable levels of blood alcohol (between 150 and 200 mg/100 ml) over drinking periods of 8-15 days. No subject in either group drank all the alcohol available. Subjects showed little fluctuation in body weight, even though daily caloric intake from food and alcohol averaged between 4000 and 5000 calories per day. The role which the pattern of alcohol consumption plays in determining its behavioral and biologic effects is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
