Females display higher sucrose consumption than males regardless of alcohol history. A Experimental timeline. B, C Sucrose and water consumption during the sucrose preference test, beginning 72 h after the last EtOH/H2O drinking session, using 1% sucrose (B) and 2% sucrose (C), showing that females consumed more sucrose, but not water, than males, with no effect of EtOH drinking history. D, E Sucrose preference was similar between H2O DID CON mice and 20% EtOH DID groups and between males and females for 1% (D) and 2% (E) sucrose. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001 in 3xRM-ANOVA main effects and interactions of substance, sex, and EtOH, as well as post hoc t-tests with H–S corrections as indicated
