Abstract
The differences in clinical manifestations of oral administration of 40% ethanol (vodka) with carbonation compared with neat (non-carbonated) vodka were studied. It was found that when taking carbonated ethanol, both subjective and objective symptoms appear, which are absent when taking ethanol without carbonation. The symptoms of alcohol intoxication characteristic of ethanol, both with and without carbonation, persist longer when carbonated ethanol is ingested. The maximum heart rate values when taking ethanol with carbonation, recorded 4 hours after ingestion, were 18.4% higher relative to the baseline (the time of intake), and when taking ethanol without carbonation — by 9.6%. There was no significant difference in the change in blood pressure indicators when taking ethanol with and without carbonation.
