DRINKING AND DRIVING IN THE NETHERLANDS OVER A FOUR-YEAR PERIOD

At weekend nights women motorists drank less than men. Drinking increased rapidly from early to late at night. Alcohol use of drivers increased over the years for both men and women and both early and late at night, but particularly for drivers coming from pub or bar. In this sample, alcohol consumption increased rapidly with age up to about 50 years. However, younger drivers comprised the larger part of motorists coming from pub or bar. The general relation for age and BAC was found to be slightly U-shaped with the 25-35 year group scoring highest late at night. (A)
