Article Synopsis
- Sugar may serve as a substitute for drugs, particularly in studies on addiction, but its relationship with alcohol use disorder (AUD) is not well understood.
- In an experiment with Long-Evans rats, dependent rats showed a greater motivation for both ethanol (alcohol) and sucrose (sugar) solutions compared to nondependent rats, indicating a strong preference for sugar even during withdrawal.
- The study suggests that during acute withdrawal from alcohol, the craving for sugar may increase in AUD patients, potentially leading to a shift in dependence from alcohol to sugar.
