摘要：

To discriminate 'alcoholics' and 'non-alcoholics'. individual Alc-Indices (determined by methanol, acetone. 2-propanol, gamma-GT and CDT-concentrations) were Calculated in a collective of 327 alcohol-impaired drivers with regard to the blood alcohol concentration, the time or the event and the age of the drivers. Applying this ne defined Alc-Index. 48%, of the drivers investigated could be characterised Lis alcohol dependent. The prevalence of alcoholics among individuals with blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) higher than 1,9parts per thousand, was more than 80%. The diagnostic value of alcohol concentrations for the recognition of 'alcoholics'. considering the legal limit in Germany (1.1parts per thousand) as well as statistically calculated limits. were compared to the Alc-Index.
