INVOLVEMENT OF DRUNKEN WOMEN IN ROAD TRAFFIC. WOMEN, ALCOHOL, DRUGS AND TRAFFIC. PROCEEDINGS OF THE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER 29-30, 1988, STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN

All information available from blood-test forms were stored in the form of numerical codes. Statistical evaluation of the stored data was carried out and yielded the following results: evident diffferences related to sex existed in previous years but a shift towards a balance is evident. The proportion of drunken women increased from an average of 5.1% to the 10.1% in the first half of 1988. The average BAC is increasing for both sexes but the rise for women is steeper than that for the men.
