abstract="Hollingworth's conclusions regarding individual susceptibility to alcohol are in accord with Kraepelin's study of such drugs as chloroform, ether, etc., and with his own studies of the effects of caffeine and of smoking. &quot;Drug resistance is positively correlated with general competence.&quot; &quot;Among this group of adults those individuals whose work is most susceptible to the effect of alcohol are shorter in stature, lighter in body weight, less given to active exercise, less competent in the work itself, less able to gain in competence through practice, and their pulse rate is less changed under the influence of alcohol. Individuals who are taller and heavier and more disposed to vigorous exercise show less alcohol effect in their work. Individuals who are relatively more competent in their work, and who also show greater capacity for improvement through practice, are less influenced by alcohol in their work, but manifest a greater change in pulse rate.&quot; From Psych Bulletin 21:12:01183.
