Abstract
The combined effects of alcohol and caffeine are not fully understood but appear dangerous. C57 mice were provided with caffeine and/or alcohol in a two-bottle intermittent voluntary access paradigm and anxiety during withdrawal was measured in an elevated plus maze. The results suggest dose-dependent effects of caffeine on alcohol consumption.
