Streszczenie
Alcoholemia was induced in 12 healthy volunteers by the ethanol administration (in the dose of 0,84 g/kg b.w.) in the form of vodka, then wine and beer. The ethanol level was determined (GC method, head-space technique) in venous blood samples collected every half an hour after alcohol consumption. The elimination of ethanol was evaluated on the basis of b60 coefficient, an hour percentage slope and cumulated percentage slope of maximal concentration (% Cmax).
Examinations allowed to compare both the effect of various alcoholic beverages on the elimination course and the efficiency of these coefficients.
