Introduction: Although alcohol driving has caused enormous economic and social loss and threatened the safety of human life, the educational system has just been regarded as offering information. We would report temperamental characteristics of person with drink-driving(drinking drivers) for suggesting proper educational data. Method: Forty four drinking drivers who participated in drinking driver educational program has been recruited. The educational program was held every month by Korean Probation & Parole office. For the alcohol dependence group, fifty one patients have been recruited who were admitted with the diagnosis of alcohol dependence by DSM-Ⅳ diagnosis criteria. Control group was forty eight persons who worked in hospital. For the measurement tool, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test: AUDIT-K, Alcohol Dependence Scale: ADS, Temperament and Character Inventory were used. Result: Harm Avoidance(HA) score had significant difference in three group. And the subscales of harm avoidance(HA1, HA2, HA3, HA4) had also significant difference between three group. In alcohol dependence group, the score was most high. And control group had higher score than drinking driver group. Novel Seeking(NS) score and the subscales(NS1, NS2) had no difference between control group and drinking driver group. There was significant difference in alcohol dependence group compared to these two groups. The subscale NS4 had significant difference in three group and alcohol dependence group had most high score. The subscale NS4 score was higher in drinking driver group than control group. Conclusion: It seems that motivation and education to raise self-efficacy would be more effective for drinking driver, because, generally speaking, they can easily be friendly to other people and strange situations, tend to never get tired easily, and have ability to maintain their own energy without coercion.
