Abstract
This preliminary forensic study aimed to investigate the correlation between alcohol consumption and road traffic accidents, a critical concern in public health and forensic science. The descriptive and analytic study focused on analyzing ethanol concentration in the blood of 40 accident victims, predominantly male motorcyclists under the age of 45. The study revealed a 55% prevalence of alcohol ingestion among the victims, with 16% involved in fatal accidents. No significant associations were identified with factors such as age, condition at the time of the accident, time, or road conditions. The findings underscore a noteworthy presence of alcohol consumption among victims involved in traffic accidents, emphasizing the forensic implications of alcohol-related incidents on accident investigations
