| New ski equipment or old snow also significantly increased injury risk. Insobriety, however, did not. There was more self-admitted drinking among the control group of uninjured skiers. | |

On the other hand, according to
British told they have no head for mixing drink and skiing:
| Quote: | | |
| They head off to the Alps looking forward to boozy lunches and an afternoon wobble down the piste. But every year dozens return to Britain on stretchers and a few in coffins.
Now the Foreign and Commonwealth Office is launching a don’t-drink-and-ski campaign in an attempt to cut the number injuring or killing themselves on the slopes of France, Switzerland and Italy. | |

I would argue that simple common sense suggests that skiing and drinking do not mix, unless the drinking is done, as it should,
après ski 
(love the seasonal smilies
).
