In humans, the relapse
into dependence after the firste drink is accelerated by
700 times.
In rats inhaling ethanol between 15 to 23 mg per
litre of air during 21 days, a withdrawal is observed.
After 14 days of abstinence, 13 days of inhalation
were enough to induce the withdrawal.
A third inhalation was followed by a lethal withdrawal.
