BECs were sampled across multiple sessions during weeks 8–10. Samples were obtained following the 1st and 2nd session, immediately prior to the 3rd session (60 minutes post-2nd session), and following the 4th session (see legend of Fig. 1 for values). BECs were approximately 120 mg% following the 1st session, and exceeded 150 mg% following the 2nd session. Prior to the 3rd session, BECs were still higher than 100 mg% even after 60 minutes without access to ethanol. BECs following the 4th session exceeded 200 mg%. The estimated total ethanol intakes were significantly correlated with BECs obtained following the 4th session (r = 0.89).
