The effect of strong drinks containing different amounts of alcohol (beer, wine, vodka, brandy) on fibrinolytic and caseinolytic activity of euglobulins and plasmin was assessed. Non-distilled drinks containing ethanol and the accompanying compounds, distillates of those drinks containing ethanol and accompanying volatile compounds, and the post-distillation residue with its accompanying compounds were analysed. Chemical compounds inhibiting fibrinolytic activity of euglobulins were found only in 6, and those decreasing fibrinolytic activity of plasmin in 2 of the 27 examined strong drinks. These compounds did not decrease caseinolytic activity of euglobulins or plasmin. They are found in non-distilled drinks and post-distillation residue. Ethanol slightly inhibits fibrinolytic and caseinolytic activity of euglobulins and plasmin in very high concentrations, which are beyond the concentration range of usual strong drinks.
