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 of the event and the age of the drivers. Applying this new defined Alc-Index, 48% of the drivers investigated could be characterised as alcohol dependent. The prevalence of alcoholics among individuals with blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) higher than 1.9per thousand was more than 80%. The diagnostic value of alcohol concentrations for the recognition of 'alcoholics', considering the legal limit in Germany (1.1per thousand) as well as statistically calculated limits, were compared to the Alc-Index.
