Abstract

This survey investigated the social characteristics and drinking patterns, as related to blood alcohol levels of persons brought to a hospital casualty department after a road crash. The study showed that a single elevated BAC estimation on attending hospital after a crash appears to be a fairly reliable indicator of subjects with potential drinking problems. This group is not otherwise different from peer groups with low BAC's.
