ALCOHOL IS A PROBLEM ON SWEDISH ROADS TOO

Despite the lack of reliability in the statistics on alcohol-related accidents in traffic, we think that it can still be safely concluded that Sweden has been relatively successful in preventing drunken driving. This is true, at least as far as the incidence of drunken driving is revealed in random breath testing. Sweden can probably claim the lowest incidence of drunken driving in the world, aside from countries where alcohol consumption is banned, like Saudi Arabia.
