abstract="More than 50% of road accidents are due to alcohol in Portugal. Yet, there is no legislation to authorize the evaluation of alcohol by breathalyser test, blood or urine tests, neither are there official values fixed by law. For instance, in the Medico-Legal Institute of Oporto the limit value is 50 mg%, but in other parts of the country higher values are also accepted. In the 1st national symposium on alcoholism (Portugal, 1980) the value of 0,5 g/l was recommended temporarily, but if the road accidents still continue at their present rate, the value should be zero. The use of drugs is also discussed. (TRRL)<p />",
