Drinking increases motor vehicle crash likelihood starting at blood alcohol levels as low as .02 mmol/L. Clinical experience tells us that drunken drivers "cycle through" the system many times, presenting opportunities for intervention. We describe the drunken driver's risk of occurrence at each juncture in the cycle and emphasize the opportunity for intervention. Patients injured in motor vehicle crashes should be screened for alcohol abuse in the emergency department and referred for treatment if it appears warranted.
血液酒精浓度低至0.02毫摩尔/升时，饮酒就会增加机动车碰撞事故的可能性。临床经验告诉我们，醉酒驾驶者会多次“循环进出”该系统，从而带来干预的机会。我们描述了醉酒驾驶者在循环过程中每个阶段发生事故的风险，并强调了干预的机会。在机动车碰撞事故中受伤的患者应在急诊科接受酒精滥用筛查，如有必要应转诊接受治疗。
