Ethanol has a pharmacological profile very similar to that of benzodiazepines and barbiturates. Thus, ethanol has antianxiety, sedative-hypnotic and muscle relaxant effects. Ethanol (Nestoros, 1980), like benzodiazepines and barbiturates, has been shown to interact with the synaptic inhibitory transmission mediation by~-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Our studies have also shown that GABA receptor sensitivity is altered following acute and chronic ethanol treatments and during its withdrawal (Ticku, 1980).Recently, barbiturates have been shown to (a) enhance benzodiazepine binding (Leeb-Lundberg et al., 1980) and (b) potentiate GABA-induced increases in diazepam binding (Skolnick et al., 1980). In this report, we have investigated the interaction of ethanol with [~ H] diazepam binding. Rat brain membranes (minus ponsmedulla) were prepared from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats by homogenizing the brain tissue in 50 vol of ice cold buffer containing 0.2 M NaC1, 5 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7, with a Brinkman Polytron, by two 15 sec bursts at a setting of 5. The homogenate was then centrifuged at 750× g for 10 min. The supernatant was then cen-
