Chunk #7 — A brief review of major methods used to evaluate alcohol reaction phenotypes — Examples of measures of alcohol reactions across different populations
Other alcohol paradigms infuse IV alcohol at constant rates to reach peak BACs in ~20 minutes, and then maintain constant BACs (e.g., Ramshandani et al., 1999; Roh et al., 2011). This rapid BAC increase might contribute to stimulation effects of alcohol early in the experiment (Schuckit et al., 2002), and maintaining constant BACs produces intrasession tolerance.
