title: [Analysis of mortality rate as a result of alcoholic poisoning].
abstract: The indices of mortality due to intoxication by alcohol and its surrogates in a region studied during the 90-ies essentially differ depending on an information source. An analysis of the alcoholic situation in the region and en elaboration of preventive measures cannot be limited to data on the consumption of alcohol (provided by the State Statistics Committee) showing only the volume of statistically registered sales of alcoholic beverages through the trade network. If this factor is ignored, erroneous conclusions can be made on both the volumes of average-per-capita consumption of alcohol and on the reasons of changes in people's health indices.
