Alcohol is of the most commonly abused substances, thus leading to significant medical and financial burdens. Pigs are an attractive model for studying alcohol abuse disorder (AUD) due to comparable alcohol consumption behavior and metabolism. This study investigates voluntary binge drinking behavior and provides a detailed analysis of associated motor function deficits in intoxicated pigs. Read more about this study at PubMed®.
