The objective of the study was to assess the association between high blood alcohol levels and fatal victims of traffi c accidents in the Brazilian Federal District, in 2005. A total of 442 casualties (163 pedestrians, 84 victims of overturns, and 195 of collisions) were studied. Blood alcohol concentration was analyzed in 238 cases (53.7%). Most victims were young males, aged between 18 and 35 years. Blood alcohol levels higher than 0.6 g/L were detected in 44.2% of collision victims; 57.7% of victims of overturns and 32.5% of pedestrians. The difference in proportions between overturn victims with blood alcohol concentration higher than 0.6 g/L and those victims of other traffi c accidents was statistically signifi cant.

Knowing the degree of alcohol intoxication can be imperative in the decision-making process of diagnoses, treatment and discharge decisions in some situations. Blood testing provides a snapshot of intoxication at the time the sample is drawn but not earlier (e.g., at the time of injury) or later, although information of the latter would be useful in epidemiological comparisons about risk and injury. Mathematical analyses based on reported alcohol use or from a single objective chemical test are presented validated and recommended to allow estimates of alcohol intoxication at specifi c times relative to an injury or other event.

“…Variability in the time to peak BAL after ingestion has been shown to be very large in humans. Dubowski (16) reported that after a large dose (1 g/kg) the time to peak BAL was 52 ± 34.6 min (mean ± S.D. ); the longest time to peak BAL was as much at 14 times the shortest.…”
