The median age of the group with negative results was 51.7 +/- 5.4 years. In the group with positive tests 4 were chronic consumers of alcohol. As compared with 1,773 determinations of blood alcohol done in the general casuistics of forensic medicine it appears that the incidence of alcohol concentrations under 1 g/thousand is greater in subjects that died with cerebrovascular accidents. In the group of subjects with alcohol concentrations in the blood between 1 and 2 g/thousand, and over, reflecting an advanced degree of inebriation, there are no significant differences between the two lots. In the authors cases the haemorrhagic forms of nontraumatic cerebrovascular accidents were predominant.
