Ethanol's in vitro platelet effects should not change clinical practice; leaves open membrane lipid modulation of aggregation in vivo.
Does ethanol inhibit platelet aggregation in vitro?
Ethanol inhibits platelet aggregation in vitro in an agent-specific manner that is modulated by platelet membrane lipid composition, suggesting effects on membrane fluidity or calcium mobilization.
Fenn et al. (1982) studied this question.
