The test designed by Knudsen et al. effectively established objective alcohol responsiveness outside its original research group.We found an objective alcohol response in 67% of our familial ET cohort.Subjective VAS scores were significantly lower after alcohol consumption.There was no correlation between the objective and subjective alcohol responsiveness.Familial aggregation of alcohol responsiveness in ET should be studied in a larger cohort.
