Abstract

This report presents estimates of alcohol involvement in fatal traffic crashes that occurred during 2000. Several comparisons of alcohol involvement for the period 1982-2000 are presented to illustrate changes and trends. The data are abstracted from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and represent a combination of actual blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test results and estimated BAC distributions for those drivers and nonoccupants for whom no BAC test results are available. The estimates are made using a model developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The report is presented in the following sections: Executive Summary; (1) Introduction; (2) Fatalities; (3) Crashes; (4) Drivers and Nonoccupants; and (5) Alcohol Trends, 1982-2000.
