title: Alcohol and road traffic accidents.
abstract: Twenty per cent of a prospective representative sample of subjects suffering road accident injury were classified as 'problem drinkers'. A third had blood alcohol levels > 80 mg/dl at admission. There were few changes in alcohol consumption or drinking in relation to driving at 1 year follow-up. No specialist help was offered during initial or follow-up hospital care.
