Table 6.

All-Hour Hospitalized Injury Risk by Type of Injury and Drinker Class Relative to Non-drinkers

Any Injury Burn Spinal Cord
Regular heavy drinker 2.22 1.31 2.43
Other drinker 1.43 1.18 1.96
Non-drinker 1.00 1.00 1.00

Note: Estimated from estimates in Table 4 and hours alcohol-positive. For example, for any injury of regular heavy drinkers, the risk is (4.33 * 6.98 hours positive + 1.36 * 17.02 hours negative) / 24 hours = 2.22. Other drinkers are alcohol-positive for an average of 1.8 hours daily.
