The frequency of drug, alcohol and combined alcohol/drug intoxication in forensic autopsy material is described. Alcoholics had frequently abused drugs; the cause of death was drug intoxication in 12%, combined alcohol/drug intoxication in 13%, and alcohol intoxication only in 4%. The manner of death was different in the various groups as it was almost equally stated as accident, suicide and unascertainable, respectively, with only drugs involved, whereas accidents were the predominant features in the combined alcohol/drug intoxication among alcoholics. In controls, accidents predominated on both types of intoxication. The alcoholics seemed to be more 'deliberately' choosing suicide with drugs, while both alcoholics and controls need more information with regard to the dangers of mixing alcohol and drugs. The frequency of combined alcohol and drug intoxication was much higher in alcoholics.
描述了法医尸检材料中药物、酒精以及酒精/药物混合中毒的发生率。酗酒者经常滥用药物；死因是药物中毒的占12%，酒精/药物混合中毒的占13%，仅酒精中毒的占4%。不同组别的死亡方式有所不同，仅涉及药物时，意外、自杀和死因不明的比例几乎相同，而在酗酒者的酒精/药物混合中毒中，意外是主要特征。在对照组中，两种中毒类型均以意外为主。酗酒者似乎更“蓄意”选择药物自杀，而酗酒者和对照组在酒精与药物混合的危险性方面都需要更多信息。酗酒者中酒精和药物混合中毒的发生率要高得多。
