Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between alcohol consumption patterns and injury.
TL;DR: These results need to be interpreted cautiously, but provide additional support that the risk of injury increases with the quantity of alcohol consumed and that therisk of injury is significantly higher for women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol consumption, setting, gender and activity as predictors of injury: a population-based case-control study.
TL;DR: These data confirm earlier findings that risk of injury for women for a given level of consumption is greater than for men, and extend earlier findings by identifying significant setting, activity and drug use variables predictive of injury.

TL;DR: The main hypothesis was supported: that 'extrinsic' factors such as location, activity, drug and alcohol use and the type of people present at the time of the injury were related to a greater risk of injury than 'intsic' variables (health and adventurous risk taking tendencies).
