Abstract
Ethanol reduces the size of essential tremor. We here show that, contr ary to a recent report, ethanol also causes a large decrease in the si ze of physiological tremor. As in the case of essential tremor, the fr equency is not changed. The reduction in tremor probably explains the well-known link between certain types of skilled activity and alcohol consumption.
