Abstract
The present review will discuss the effects of ethanol on platelet function and vascular prostanoids. Whenever possible we have considered human studies because there are marked species differences in platelet function and vascular prostanoid release even in the absence of ethanol. Because of the specialised nature of some parts of the text, we have included brief introductions to help readers who are not familiar with this field.
