Figure 7

Intake of Alcoholic Beverage Immediately Following 2 mg of EV or Placebo. This figure summarizes the change in intakes of two groups of females. Both had been taking alcoholic beverage for 4 days a week for 4 weeks before the start of this experiment. They continued that regimen for another week (Week 1 here, a baseline measure). After Week 1, one group received placebos. The other group received 10 mg/kg of EV. The data are means of total intake taken during the week (across 4 days). The bars represent standard errors of the mean. As can be seen by the overlap of error bars, the groups did not differ significantly at Week 1 (baseline). The group of placebo continued to take substantial amounts of ethanol and showed no significant change in intakes from Week 1 to 2, p-value for t-test for dependent groups = 0.55. As can be seen from the lack of overlap of error bars, the groups differed significantly in intake during Week 2, p = 0.0005. The dose of EV reduced intakes, p-value for t-test for dependent means = 0.003 (Week 1 vs. Week 2, EV group).
