Ethanol metabolism rates were investigated in a group of 17 male American Indians and a group of 17 male whites of similar age, education, weight, and drinking history. A moderate dose of alcohol (0.52 g/kg) was administered orally to each subject, and blood alcohol levels were determined by breath analysis. The American Indian group demonstrated a significantly faster rate of alcohol metabolism than the white group. The peak blood alcohol level was significantly higher for the American Indians than for the whites, and the American Indian group demonstrated a significantly faster absorption rate than the white group.
对一组17名美国印第安男性和一组年龄、教育程度、体重及饮酒史相似的17名白人男性的乙醇代谢率进行了研究。给每位受试者口服适量酒精（0.52克/千克），并通过呼吸分析测定血液酒精水平。美国印第安人群体的酒精代谢率明显高于白人群体。美国印第安人的血液酒精峰值水平显著高于白人，且美国印第安人群体的吸收速度明显快于白人群体。
