Alcohol problem (AP) information was derived from C/ME and law enforcement records and denotes whether the decedent was reported by family, friends, or health care providers to have had an AP prior to death. Gender and age (categorized into 5-year age groups) were obtained from death certificates. Prevalence rates of BAC+ and BAC ≥ 0.08 g/dl were estimated for all groups.
