Abstract

Cases of consumption of alcoholic beverages by children and adolescents are rare. Children’s bodies are considered to be much less resistant to toxic effects of alcohol. However, there are described cases of the non-lethal ethanol poisoning in children when its blood concentration exceeded 5 g/L. The aim of the study. The forensic medical evaluation of the toxic action of ethanol in children depending on age, blood concentration of alcohol taking into account causes of death. Material. Data from statistical reporting, the Bureau of forensic medical examination for the Moscow region over the period of 2003-2017. Results. In lethal outcomes of children the prevalence rate of a positive result of the forensic chemical test of blood for the presence of ethyl alcohol was 1:6. Detected ethanol concentration in corpse blood would correspond to clinical manifestations of intoxication, from mild to severe. Conclusion. Children, whose blood alcohol content formally met the criterion of severe intoxication or alcohol poisoning, can take actions.
