Similarly, in female rats, Sampson and colleagues (Sampson et al. 1996; Sampson and Spears 1999) found that chronic alcohol consumption (4 weeks on an ethanol liquid diet) produces decreased limb length and reductions in cortical and cancellous bone, which are not fully reversed following cessation of drinking. Interestingly, female adolescent animals administered a binge model of drinking (i.e., 5 percent alcohol by gavage for either 2 or 5 consecutive days per week) show increased bone length, weight, and density, or no change, respectively (Sampson et al. 1999).
