TL;DR
On withdrawal of ethanol the interresponse times were significantly shortened concomitant with an increase in the total number of responses in a model for the study of an ethanol withdrawal syndrome on operant behavior.
Abstract
A model for the study of an ethanol withdrawal syndrome on operant behavior is described. Rats maintained of 16% w/v solutions of ethanol for several months were trained to perform on a DRL-15 schedule. On withdrawal of ethanol the interresponse times were significantly shortened concomitant with an increase in the total number of responses.

The data implicate a role for newly synthesized catecholamines in ethanol-induced motor stimulation and suggest the presence of tyrosine hydroxylase inhibitor in the response of rats and mice to ethanol.

It is suggested that central catecholamines may be involved in ethanol‐induced stimulation and euphoria in man.

The present study attempted to compare the relative efficacy of the Freund Liquid Diet procedure with a behavioral technique, schedule-induced polydipsia for developing alcohol dependence in mice and concluded that the critical determinants in the development of physical dependence upon alcohol are unknown and the nature of the addictive process remains a matter of conjecture.

The data would seem to suggest that a model for alcohol addiction is possible in the rat which satisfies, for the first time, the classical pharmacologic criteria of addition, i.e. physical dependence, tolerance, etc.

The subjective experiences following intravenous amphetamine have been measured in 5 chronic amphetamine abusers by a self-rating scale and the effects of 160 mg of amphetamine were greatly reduced or abolished after pretreatment with alphamethyl-p-tyrosine.

The results indicate that central DA plays an important role in the behavioural changes observed, and it is suggested that a timing behaviour like DRL might be a suitable model for testing the ability of different drugs to induce stereotyped behaviour.
