Abstract:
From 1978 to 1988 6431 forensic postmortem examinations have been made at the Freie Universität Berlin. These are about 50% of all p. m. examinations in Berlin (West) of the corresponding period. 22% of these cases were associated with alcohol. On one hand there was an acute influence of alcohol, on the other hand there were indications of chronic alcoholism. A rise of alcohol associated cases or of alcohol concentrations could not be found out.
