Abstract
Blood and breath acetaldehyde levels were measured following ethanol ingestion (0.5 ml/kg) in 11 boys familially at risk for alcoholism and 11 age-matched controls. No significant differences were found between groups for acetaldehyde, objective, or subjective measures of intoxication. Previous reports of acetaldehyde as a marker of risk for alcoholism were not confirmed. Baseline behavioral state predicted response to alcohol. Children tended to have a subjective response in a direction opposite from the baseline mood state.
