Faster alcohol consumption may exaggerate heart rate responses in men with multigenerational alcoholism family history; leaves open prospective validation as a risk marker.
Does the rate of alcohol ingestion and family history of alcoholism influence the heart rate response to acute alcohol challenge in young men?
