This report presents statistics that describe the incidence and the distribution of alcohol-related fatalities, and identifies trends in their distribution over a 5-year period (1979-1983). The primary focus is on 1983. The data are drawn from the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS). In 1983, 42,584 people died as a result of traffic accidents. This number is down 17% from the 51,084 deaths in 1979. Of the 42,584 deaths in 1983, 17,847 (42%) were alcohol-related, compared with 20,245 alcohol-related deaths in 1979 (40% of all 1979 traffic fatalities). While alcohol-related traffic deaths have declined in numbers over the 5-year period studied, they constitute a higher percentage of all traffic deaths in 1983 than they did in 1979.
