Alcohol intoxication and dependence are risk factors for suicide, a leading cause of death in the United States. We examined the hours of peak and nadir in completed suicides over a 24-hour period among intoxicated, alcohol-dependent individuals. We also evaluated suicide-related factors associated with intoxication at different times of the day.
