Resumen

1. 1. If adult male hamsters kept in light: dark cycles of 14: 10 are given a choice to drink water or 5% ethanol, they show a preference for the alcohol solution. Hamsters that are pinealectomized exhibit a reduced preference for ethanol. 2. 2. Blinded hamsters show an exaggerated ethanol preference which is also reduced by either pinealectomy or decentralization of the superior cervical ganglia. 3. 3. Daily melatonin injections of subcutaneously implanted melatonin-beeswax pellets do not influence ethanol preference in hamsters.
