A new current study, based on data being obtained from plus of minus 1000 drunken drivers arrested in 1979, will provide an even broader insight into the combined use of alcohol and medicine. Firstly, a comparison will be made between the years 1965, 1975, 1976 and 1979. Subsequently, the drunken drivers of 1979 will be subdivided in"combined" and "non combined use of medicine". Special attention will be given to the question of whether or not some combinations occur more frequently than others in the cases involving collisions, and if so, which.
