Effect of alcohol on tremors

Comparison with propranolol

William C. Koller, MD, PhD and Nabil Biary, MD

From the Departments of Neurology, Loyola University School of Medicine (Dr. Koller) and Illinois College of Medicine (Dr. Biary), Chicago, IL.

Intravenous administration of alcohol decreased postural essential tremor but not parkinsonian resting or cerebellar intention tremor. The response to alcohol infusion occurred in all 15 patients studied, whereas only 11 of the 15 had a response to propranolol therapy. Furthermore, the response to ethanol was greater than that due to propranolol.

Address correspondence and reprint requests to Dr. Koller, Neurology Service (127), VA Medical Center, Hines, IL 60141.

Accepted for publication May 24, 1983.
