Blood alcohol was determined in 1012 injury victims. It was found that the alcohol involvement (AI) rate was 37% in the total number of patients, 19% in industrial, 38% in traffic, 36% in home, 45% in other freetime accidents, and 69% in the victims of fights, assaults, and suicide attempts. The most common external cause of injury was falling (447 cases) with an AI rate of 38%, while the 172 other nontraffic true accident cases had a rate of 24%. The road and stairs were the usual places of falls while intoxicated. Head injuries had a high (47%) and upper extremity injuries a low (25%) AI rate. Tibial and ankle fractures were also very often associated with alcohol intake. Contrarily to traffic and industrial accidents the slightly injured at home and in other freetime environments had been drinking more frequently than the severely injured. The data suggest that alcohol is a powerful contributing factor in leisure-time injuries. Head and low leg are especially vulnerable in drunken persons. Not only driving but even when walking while intoxicated means taking risks.
对1012名受伤受害者进行了血液酒精含量检测。结果发现，在所有患者中，酒精介入（AI）率为37%，在工业事故受伤者中为19%，交通事故受伤者中为38%，家庭事故受伤者中为36%，其他业余时间事故受伤者中为45%，打架、袭击及自杀未遂受害者中为69%。最常见的外部致伤原因是摔倒（447例），AI率为38%，而其他172例非交通事故真实意外案例的AI率为24%。道路和楼梯是醉酒后摔倒的常见地点。头部受伤的AI率较高（47%），上肢受伤的AI率较低（25%）。胫骨和踝关节骨折也经常与饮酒有关。与交通事故和工业事故不同的是，在家中及其他业余环境中受轻伤者比重伤者饮酒更为频繁。数据表明，酒精是导致业余时间受伤的一个重要因素。醉酒者的头部和小腿特别容易受伤。不仅醉酒驾车，即使醉酒走路也意味着冒险。
