While men in the United States consume more alcohol than women, rates of drinking are converging. Nevertheless, females remain underrepresented in preclinical alcohol research. Here, we examined rats for sex-related differences in patterns of ethanol drinking and effects of this drinking on exploratory and anxiety-like behavior. Adult male and female Long-Evans rats were given 20% ethanol under the intermittent-access two-bottle-choice paradigm. Their intake was measured daily for the first 7 weeks. During the 8th week, intake was measured over the 24 hours of daily access. During the 9th week, they, along with ethanol-naive controls, were tested prior to daily access in a novel chamber, light-dark box, and hole board apparatus. During the 10th week, blood ethanol concentration (BEC) was assessed after 30 – 40 minutes of access. Compared to males, females overall demonstrated higher ethanol intake and preference across all access weeks, although only half of them drank significantly more than males. Across 24 hours of daily access, both sexes had their highest intake in the first 30 minutes and their lowest in the middle of the light phase of the light/dark cycle. Despite their greater ethanol intake, females did not show significantly different BECs than males. In behavioral tests, females compared to males showed less vertical time in a novel activity chamber, more movement between chambers in a light-dark box, and more nose pokes in a hole-board apparatus. While a history of ethanol drinking led to a trend for reduced vertical time in the activity chamber and increased chamber entries in the light-dark box, this was not sex-dependent. These results suggest that female and male rats could both be tested for acute effects of ethanol after 30 minutes of daily access, but that nuanced considerations should be made in designing these experiments and interpreting the findings.
