Abstract Administration of single doses of ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol or 1-pentanol to mice caused hypothermia and impairment of rotarod performance. Repetitive doses, at 24-72 hr intervals led to development of tolerance to the hypothermic effects of ethanol but not of the other alcohols. No tolerance was seen in the impairment of rotarod performance with repeated doses of any of the alcohols. Ethanol did show an intersession tolerance on rotarod performance; at 20 and 80 min after injection, blood levels were similar, while performance was impaired at 20 but not at 80 min.
