The results showed significant differences for sex (t=-3.570, p <.01) and education (t=2.636, p <.01) in alcohol consumption. In addition the factors; age, age alcohol consumption started, quantity of alcohol ingested, age marijuana consumption started, and hours lapsed between the consumption of marijuana and the accident (F7, 116=15.519, p <.00), were also significant on the consumption of alcohol with an explained variance of 40%.
