A descriptive study of incidence and related factors of alcohol drinking among the drivers in seven amphetamine in Rayoung province was performed in 1995. Five hundred and forty-four drivers were studied by using interview form. Blood alcoholic level was neasured by Breathalyzer. The most popular vehicle in Rayong province was motorcycle 66.2%. Most drivers were men 98% mean age was 29.6 years and most of them were employee 61.2%. Twenty-five percent had no driver's ;ocence. Fifty percent had motorcycling but only 15.4 percent used them. Most of the drivers had history of alcoholic consumption 62.8%. They usually drived after alcohol drinking 82.6%. The prevalence of their accident in the past year was 16.0 percent. Thirt-six percent of last accident occurred after alcohol drinking. Most drivers 93.4% agreed with drunk-driving law. Thirty-six percent of the drivers had alcohol in blood (detected by Breathalyser). About 10 percent of the drivers had blood alcoholic level higher than that stated by Thai's law (50 mg/dl). Factors associated with alcohol drinking were those who lived in amphur Bankai (p‹0.05), the drivers who were older than 45 years (p<0.05), the drivers who had level of education lower than grade 6 (p<0.05), the drivers who were farmers (p<0.05) and the drivers who always drived after drinking (p<0.05) respectively. We concluded that the incidence of alcohol drinking among the drivers in Rayong province was rather high and was the main cause of accident. Health education and the campaing by government and non-government organization were necessary and important. The decision for bringing the drunk-driving into use should be seriously considered and strongly reinforced.
