Normal young adutt males residing in Hawaii (46 of European ancestry, 30 Japanese, 27 Chinese) were tested for changes in heart rate and Wood pressure following a dose of 0.59 g of ethanoi/kg. The two Oriental groups did not differ in mean changes but, when pooled, differed from Europeans, having increased heart rate and decreased blood pressure. Within‐race analyses showed that, contrary to the literature, all three groups have great interindtvidual differences in cardiovascular responses. In addition, the three races show a basically similar multivariate response: blood pressure more variable than heart rate and Mood pressure changes uncorrected with heart rate changes.
