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.
