“…There are other studies that have demonstrated increases in heart rate following alcohol exposure (Conrod et al, 2001; Brunelle et al, 2004; Ray et. al, 2006; Bau et al, 2011). In these studies, the increased heart rate was attributed to an increase sympathetic arousal following oral alcohol administration.…”

“…In healthy individuals, alcohol ingestion has acute cardiovascular and autonomic effects that depend on the time elapsed after alcohol intake (Bau et al, 2011). These autonomic effects may include parasympathetic (vagal) impulses acting on the muscarinic receptors to generate bradycardia and sympathetic nerve impulses acting on the beta-adrenergic receptors (with the withdrawal of parasympathetic impulses) to induce tachycardia (Fauci et al, 2008).…”

Objectives The aim of this study was to characterize cardiac reactivity measures, heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV), following acute intravenous (IV) alcohol administration and their association with subjective responses in social drinkers. Methods 24 subjects (11 females) received IV alcohol infusions to attain and clamp the breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) at 50 mg% or placebo in separate sessions. Serial 5-min cardiac recordings at baseline and during the infusion were analyzed to obtain frequency and time-domain cardiac measures. Self-reported subjective perceptions were also obtained at the same time-points. Results HR showed significant decreases from baseline, while the HRV measure pNN50 showed steady increases during the ascending phase of alcohol infusion. HR was inversely correlated with pNN50 across time and treatment. There was a significant association of HR with subjective feelings of high, intoxication, feelings and liking of drug effects across time during the ascending phase. Conclusions Acute IV alcohol resulted in decreases in HR and increases in HRV consistent with autonomic parasympathetic activation. The association of these changes with subjective responses suggests that cardiac reactivity may serve as a physiological marker of subjective alcohol effects. This study broadens the understanding of acute cardiovascular effects of alcohol and clinically significant cardiac conditions like arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy associated with chronic alcohol drinking.

“…Sinus tachycardia, secondary to an increase in sympathetic modulation and a reduction in vagal modulation of the sinus node,5 is very common 6 7. Furthermore, ventricular ectopic beats and supraventricular arrhythmia, including atrial fibrillation, are frequently observed in alcohol intoxication 7–9.…”

“…Therefore, it is not easy to decide whether someone has consumed alcohol using only a heart rate sensor; however, alcohol consumption can be inferred on the basis of data that show changes in the heart rate pattern similar to those seen after drinking alcohol [41][42][43]. In ordinary people, the heart rate rises by about 10 bpm from the average heart rate within 2 h of drinking alcohol.…”

“…For ordinary people, the heart rate after drinking alcohol is measured mostly in the 60-100 bpm range [41].

The existing electronic tagging system traces the location of a sex offender using triangulation by communicating with Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites and mobile phone base stations. The acquired location information is used to prevent the offenders from perpetrating repeat crimes. However, the battery resources of such a system are inadequate as it has to trace the location of the moving target in real time and consumes a large amount of battery power while communicating with GPS satellites and mobile phone base stations. In addition, the systems cannot infer the mental state of the targets or detect their alcohol consumption levels, which may be necessary for the prevention of a repeat crime. The purpose of this study is to connect the Ubiquitous System Network (USN), which consumes little electricity, and Android mobile platforms, which are commonly used for machine-to-machine communication. Thus, this system will legally facilitate the protection of minors by providing information only about the target's approach to certain facilities. In addition, the system uses an Android platform to process data measured by the USN's sensors, which can also detect alcohol intake and infer the mental state of the target, and then initiates the corresponding real-time context-awareness services.
