“…Similarly, young people have a higher prevalence of driving after drinking alcohol and being a passenger of a driver who drank alcohol. 8 In Brazil, a study identified the risk profile for drinking and driving in 2,166 youths. 9 The characteristics associated with drinking and driving were high alcohol intake, being a frequent passenger of a driver who drank and drove, having friends who drink and drive, and considering high alcohol intake to be safe for driving.…”

“…3,6 In addition to being a key indicator of alcohol abuse, it also indicates the frequency and circumstances of alcohol consumption and the proportion of people who drink to intoxication in a specific location, region, or country. 4 The literature shows that binge drinking is a defining factor of high-risk behavior both for drivers and for other road users 3,7 and is linked to reckless driving 8 and violation of other traffic laws. 9 The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers in Brazil has been zero since 2008, and violation (any level of alcohol content) is punishable by fine, suspension or revocation of license, and driver detention.…”

Objective: To explore high-risk behaviors and experiences with traffic law among night drivers in Curitiba, Brazil. Method: Data from 398 drivers on sociodemographic parameters, high-risk behaviors, experiences with traffic law, and traffic law violations were collected through interviews conducted at sobriety checkpoints. Exploratory-descriptive and analytical statistics were used. Results: The mean age of the participants was 32.6611.2 years (range, 18 to 75 years). Half of the drivers reported having driven after drinking in the last year, predominantly single men aged 18 to 29 years who drive cars and drink alcohol frequently. Only 55% of the drivers who had driven after drinking in the last year self-reported some concern about being detected in a police operation. Conclusions: A significant association was found between sociodemographic variables and behavior, which can help tailor public interventions to a specific group of drivers: young men who exhibit high-risk behaviors in traffic, such as driving after drinking alcohol, some of whom report heavy alcohol consumption. This group represents a challenge for educational and enforcement interventions, particularly because they admit to violating current laws and have a low perception of punishment due to the low risk of being detected by the police.

“…2,3,6 O índice de acidentes relacionados ao uso de anfetaminas encontrado na presente pesquisa (27%) foi maior que o relacionado ao consumo de álcool (17%). Isso sugere a necessidade de discutir esse problema nos meios de comunicação para uma campanha mais informativa sobre os riscos de ingestão dessas substâncias no período de trabalho.…”

“…A bebida alcoólica também é muito consumida entre os caminhoneiros, além de ser uma das principais causadoras de acidentes e mortes no trânsito. 2,3,6 Associado a fatores socioeconômicos, como dívidas pessoais, crise no setor de transportes e exigências de entrega de cargas em curto prazo, muitos caminhoneiros chegam a rodar mais de 18 horas por dia para cumprir horários. Eles recorrem ao uso de anfetaminas e álcool para reduzir o sono e aliviar a ansiedade, respectivamente.…”

The purpose of the study was to assess the incidence of alcohol and amphetamine use among long-distance truck drivers. There were studied 91 truck drivers at the gas station in Passos, Southeastern Brazil, in November 2005. Data was collected using a questionnaire comprising 19 multiple choice questions. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test and Cramér's correlation coeffi cient were used for data analysis. The results indicated that 66% of the long-distance truck drivers used amphetamines during their travels, mainly at gas stations along the highways (54%). Alcohol was consumed by 91% of them and 43% of them consumed it at gas stations. It is concluded that there is a need of preventive and education campaigns targeting this occupation category at gas stations and transportation companies, focusing on the risks of these substances use during working hours.
