ARE ALCOHOLIC'S ACCIDENT'S DUE SOLEY TO HEAVY DRINKING

IT IS SUGGESTED THAT ALCOHOLICS HAVE HIGHER RATES OF ACCIDENTS, BOTH WHEN DRINKING AND WHEN SOBER, THAN OTHER DRIVERS. THREE INDEPENDENT STUDIES ARE OUTLINED WHICH SUPPORT THIS CONCLUSION, AND FURTHER RESEARCH IS RECOMMENDED. REDUCING THE ALCOHOLIC'S DRINKING WILL NOT MAKE HIM A SAFER DRIVER IF THIS CONCLUSION IS CORRECT. /HSL/
