Abstract
The effect of formaldehyde on voluntary alcohol intake in rats was examined. Alcohol intake was measured using individually determined alcohol concentrations. The results did not support the tension reduction hypothesis: Stress induction did not enhance alcohol intake. It is concluded that a revision of the tension reduction hypothesis should be formulated.Keywords
