本文分析了西班牙司机的酒精消费模式，酒精相关问题的发病率，并试图确定是否，在年底，司机与酒精相关的问题被认为是适合或不适合驾驶。根据西班牙和欧洲联盟的立法，不能向患有酒精相关问题的人颁发或更新驾驶执照。对参加全国25个医疗驾驶考试中心的8043名驾驶员进行了医疗、心理和视力评估，以测试其驾驶健康状况。除其他外，还收集了关于酒精消费模式、AUDIT和CAGE测试、酒精相关问题发生率（DSM-IV关于滥用、依赖和酒精引起的障碍的标准）以及对他们是否适合驾驶的评估的信息。总的来说，60.3%的司机经常饮酒; 7.3%的司机在AUDIT测试中得分大于或等于8分，2%的司机符合DSM-IV酒精滥用、依赖或诱导性障碍的标准。有酒精相关问题的驾驶员发生交通事故（23.2%）和违反驾驶规则（18.7%）的频率高于无酒精相关问题的驾驶员（P < 0.0001）。在那些有酒精相关问题的人中，72.2%的人被认为适合开车。这项研究表明，司机中饮酒很普遍，相当多的司机有与酒精有关的问题，而后者中有四分之三被认为适合开车。
This paper analyses the alcohol consumption patterns in Spanish drivers, the incidence of alcohol-related problems and attempts to ascertain whether, in the end, drivers with alcohol-related problems are considered fit or unfit to drive. In accordance with Spanish and European Union legislation, driving Licences cannot be issued or renewed to people suffering from alcohol-related problems. A medical, psychological and eyesight evaluation was performed to test the driving fitness of 8043 drivers attending 25 Medical Driving Test Centres on a national scale. Among other things, information was collected on the patterns of alcohol consumption, the AUDIT and CAGE tests, the incidence of alcohol-related problems (DSM-IV criteria for abuse, dependence and alcohol-induced disorder), as well as an evaluation of their fitness to drive. In all, 60.3% of drivers drink alcohol on a regular basis; 7.3% of drivers scored greater than or equal to8 points in the AUDIT test, and 2% met criteria for DSM-IV alcohol abuse, dependence or induced disorder. Drivers with alcohol-related problems have been involved in traffic accidents (23.2%) and have infringed driving regulations (18.7%) more frequently (P < 0.0001) than those without alcohol-related problems. Of those with alcohol-related problems, 72.2% were considered fit to drive. The study reveals that alcohol consumption is common among drivers, that a significant number of drivers have alcohol-related problems, and that three in four of the latter were considered fit to drive.
