According to the medical regulations for obtaining a driver's license in Sweden, alcohol abuse/dependency constitutes sufficient grounds for denial. In the case of a conviction for gross drunk driving, it is incumbent upon the offender to present a medical certificate verifying a "sober lifestyle". Biological markers are important tools for proving alcohol abuse in each of these contexts. In this connection, CDT analyses play a key role through their high marked specificity for increased alcohol consumption. The authors have agreed upon the guidelines as presented in this paper for determining sobriety as it pertains to possession of a driver's license. Special emphasis is placed on how CDT tests should be used and interpreted in such contexts, as well as their value as evidence in the case of increased CDT levels.
