“…The literature addressing the associations between alcohol outlet densities and alcohol consumption and related problems emerged during the 1950s and has developed rapidly over subsequent decades. In general, across many studies and settings statistical associations between outlet densities, alcohol use, and related problems are robust (e.g., Freisthler et al, 2004;Gruenewald et al, 2002;Harford et al, 1979;Rush et al, 1986;Scribner et al, 1994). The work of Livingston, who has linked alcohol densities to assaults, domestic violence, and other alcohol-related problems in Australian context, is of import (Livingston, 2008(Livingston, , 2011Livingston et al, 2007).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective:This article provides a historical review of alcohol and other drug policy research and its impact on public health over the past 75 years. We begin our summary with the state of the fi eld circa 1940 and trace the development across the subsequent decades. We summarize current thinking and suggest possible future directions the fi eld of alcohol and other drug policy may take. Specifi c topics discussed include the minimum legal drinking age, pricing and taxation, hours and days of sale, outlet density, and privatization effects. The future of drug policy research is also considered. Method: A comprehensive search of the literature identifi ed empirical studies, reviews, and commentaries of alcohol and other drug policy research published from 1940 to 2013 that contributed to the current state of the fi eld. Results: Our review demonstrates the historical emergence of alcohol problems as a public health issue over the early part of the 20th century, the public health policy response to this issue, subsequent research, and current and future research trends. Conclusions: Alcohol and other drug policy research over the last several decades has made great strides in its empirical and theoretical sophistication of evaluating alcohol policy effects. This history is not only remarkable for its analytic complexity, but also for its conceptual sophistication. MethodTo accomplish our goal, we fi rst conducted a comprehensive search of the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs (and its previous iterations, the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol and the Journal of Studies on Alcohol), identifying empirical studies, reviews, and commentaries of alcohol and other drug policy research published from 1940 to 2013. We also included notable articles from other sources that further supported the importance of alcohol and other drug policy research for the improvement of public health. Although this review centers on alcohol and other drug policy research within the United States, we have also examined research from other countries as well. The scope of this review focused primarily on articles that highlighted alcohol-control policies such as the minimum legal drinking age, pricing and taxation, hours and days of sale, outlet density, and privatization effects; and policies aimed at reducing heavy alcohol consumption and related problems.

“…Many alcohol outlets sell tobacco products and are locations for the illegal sale of loose cigarettes (Cannuscio, Weiss, & Asche, 2010;Naum, Yarian, & Cannuscio, 1995;Stillman et al, 2007). Fewer studies have examined the relationship between alcohol outlets and outcomes during childhood (Freisthler, Midanik, & Gruenewald 2004;Freisthler, Gruenewald, Remer, Lery, & Needell, 2007). For example, one such study has examined the association between alcohol outlets and children's physical abuse due to parental alcohol use (Freisthler, Midanik, & Gruenewald 2004).…”

“…Other studies have also reported packaged liquor outlet density to be positively associated with rates of assault, domestic violence, chronic disease and very heavy episodic drinking, 2 as well as child maltreatment, 8 vehicle crashes, 9 pedestrian injuries, injuries among young adults, 10 harmful consumption of alcohol and hospital contacts for anxiety, stress, depression 11 and other adverse health outcomes. 12 Research indicates that reducing the density of these packaged liquor outlets may decrease harmful levels of alcohol consumption, especially in socially disadvantaged and/or lower socioeconomic status groups and young people.…”
