Alcohol transiently improves the shakiness of patients with essential (familial) tremor. The possibility that essential tremor may lead to alcohol abuse and addiction is raised in relationship to three case reports. It is suggested that secondary alcoholism in patients with essential tremor may be treated or prevented by control of the essential tremor with beta-adrenergic blocking agents. Theoretical implications for the etiology of alcoholism are discussed.
酒精能暂时改善特发性（家族性）震颤患者的震颤症状。根据三例病例报告，特发性震颤可能导致酒精滥用和成瘾。有人提出，对于特发性震颤患者的继发性酒精中毒，可用β-肾上腺素能阻滞剂控制特发性震颤来进行治疗或预防。文中还讨论了对酒精中毒病因的理论影响。
