Abstract
The consumption of tranquilizers has increased throughout the 1960s. At present more than 100 million prescriptions of tranquilizers are written annually in the U.S.A. In a Norwegian study diazepam was found in the blood of 18% of people injured in traffic accidents. Other epidemiological studies have demonstrated an increased traffic accident risk to be associated with the use of tranquilizers. The combined use of tranquilizers and alcohol, which is common among patients, increases one's accident risk from that due to either agent alone.
