Abstract

The effect of preprandial alcohol on gastric emptying was investigated with the use of ⁵¹Cr chloride as the marker and external counting of radioactivity. Eight healthy men, who received a balanced test meal containing about 60 g fat, showed an exponential decrease of radioactivity from the gastric area with an average half-time of 105 min. Ingestion of 4 oz. whiskey before the meal increased the emptying time by 99 min.
