A Little Shot May Help Driver A Lot
A test on American drivers finds that those who drank a little have fewer accidents than those who drank none. Prof. R F Berkenstein of Indiana University reported to the European Alcoholism Institute on 1962-63 data from Grand Rapids Michigan. He noted educated, middle aged workers show best records while the young, old, uneducated and inexperienced show worse. The surprising result is that drivers with 10 to 40 milligram alcohol per 100 centiliters of blood have fewer accidents than drivers with no alcohol.
