The number of deaths attributable to alcohol in France during 1985 has been estimated from national death statistics, and from records attributable risks for each disease related to alcohol. The attributable risks for alcohol by sex and by disease were computed from the 1974 survey by the Institut Français d'Opinion Publique of a national sample of 981 adults on consumption of alcohol, and from the relative risk of death for alcohol drinkers estimated from epidemiological studies. The total number of deaths attributable to alcohol in the population aged 20 or more was 52,000 in 1985 (44,500 men and 7,500 women). Half of these deaths occurred before age 65. Nine percent of the overall mortality was attributable to alcohol (3 percent for women and 16 percent for men). This proportion was 28 percent for men between ages 45 and 64. Among these 52,000 deaths, 14,000 were due to liver cirrhosis or alcoholic psychosis, 16,500 to cancer, mainly from oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, or liver, 8,900 to external causes of injury, 9,050 to cardiovascular disease, 550 to pneumonia, and 3,000 to ill-defined diseases.
1985年法国因酒精导致的死亡人数是根据国家死亡统计数据以及与酒精相关的每种疾病的归因风险记录估算得出的。酒精按性别和疾病分类的归因风险是根据1974年法国民意调查机构对981名成年人的全国样本进行的酒精消费调查，以及从流行病学研究估算出的饮酒者的相对死亡风险计算得出的。20岁及以上人群中，1985年因酒精导致的死亡总数为52,000人（男性44,500人，女性7,500人）。其中一半的死亡发生在65岁之前。总体死亡率的9%归因于酒精（女性为3%，男性为16%）。45至64岁男性的这一比例为28%。在这52,000例死亡中，14,000例死于肝硬化或酒精性精神病，16,500例死于癌症，主要是口腔、咽、喉、食管或肝癌，8,900例死于外部伤害，9,050例死于心血管疾病，550例死于肺炎，3,000例死于病因不明的疾病。
