abstract="In an ongoing project utilizing New Jersey State Medical Examiner data, all 218 motor vehicle driver fatalities in Essex County from 1979 through 1985 were classified as alcoholics with (1) positive brain/blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) or (2) negative BACs, or as non-alcoholics with (3) positive BACs or (4) negative BACs. Thirty-seven (17%) were classified as alcoholics, almost always based on autopsy findings of liver damage due to alcoholism. One-half of 173 cases with usable tests-64% of alcoholics and 47% of nonalcoholics-had positive BACs. Previous reports on the relative involvement of drinking and sober alcoholics in traffic accidents have been inconclusive.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
