In an ongoing project utilizing New Jersey State Medical Examiner data, all 218 motor vehicle driver fatalities in Essex County from 1979 through 1985 were classified as alcoholics with (1) positive brain/blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) or (2) negative BACs, or as non-alcoholics with (3) positive BACs or (4) negative BACs. Thirty-seven (17%) were classified as alcoholics, almost always based on autopsy findings of liver damage due to alcoholism. One-half of 173 cases with usable tests-64% of alcoholics and 47% of nonalcoholics-had positive BACs. Previous reports on the relative involvement of drinking and sober alcoholics in traffic accidents have been inconclusive.
在一个正在进行的利用新泽西州法医数据的项目中，对1979年至1985年埃塞克斯县的218名机动车驾驶员死亡案例进行了分类，分为以下几类：（1）脑/血酒精浓度（BAC）呈阳性的酗酒者；（2）BAC呈阴性的酗酒者；（3）BAC呈阳性的非酗酒者；（4）BAC呈阴性的非酗酒者。其中37例（17%）被归类为酗酒者，几乎都是基于因酗酒导致肝脏损伤的尸检结果。在173例可进行检测的案例中，一半——64%的酗酒者和47%的非酗酒者——BAC呈阳性。此前关于饮酒的酗酒者和清醒的酗酒者在交通事故中相对参与情况的报告尚无定论。
