“…Nevertheless, throughout the 1980s the theoretical foundations of policy effects remained relatively undeveloped. Explanations for policy effects were ascribed to the "full costs" for alcohol; costs that include both the direct economic costs (i.e., prices) and noneconomic costs of use (e.g., convenience costs related to ease of purchase), or the Ledermann model, a hypothesis which posited that the mean of consumption in a population was somehow proportional to measures of heavy drinking (Duffy, 1978;Ledermann, 1956;Single and Wortley, 1993). Skog (1985) provided a theoretical underpinning to the Ledermann hypothesis based on the concept of "drinking cultures," which linked consumption means to heavy drinking at the population level.…”

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.

“…Research has brought to light the fact that alcohol is consumed under a combination of locational, relational, circumstantial, and temporal conditions (Demers, 1997;Harford, 1979;Harford and Gaines, 1982;Harford et al, 1976Harford et al, , 1983Simpura, 1991). For example, the probability of heavy drinking is generally higher in places such as bars, discos, or taverns than in a restaurant or at home (Clapp et al, 2006;Cosper et al, 1987;Single and Wortley, 1993;Snow and Landrum, 1986). Other studies have shown that drinking in multiple locations in the course of an evening is associated with increased alcohol consumption (Hughes et al, 2008;Pedersen and Labrie, 2007).…”

“…However, these studies also show that mixed-gender groups tend to have a moderation effect on the consumption. Special circumstances such as parties, weddings, and social gatherings imply heavier drinking than everyday life contexts such as having a meal (Simpura, 1983(Simpura, , 1987Single and Wortley, 1993). In terms of temporal characteristics, drinking during weekends is usually associated with heavier intake than drinking during the week (Demers, 1997;Demers et al, 2002a).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess whether the effect of parenthood on alcohol intake varies according to the context in which the drinking act occurs. Method: The data were drawn from the Canadian Addiction Survey, a national telephone survey conducted in 2004. The analytical sample included 1,079 drinking occasions nested in 498 female drinkers and 926 drinking occasions nested in 403 male drinkers between 18 and 55 years of age. A multilevel linear statistical model was used to estimate the variance related to the drinking occasion (Level 1) and to the parental role (Level 2). Results: Parenthood was not associated with alcohol intake per occasion. Drinking context variables brought great explanatory power to the study of alcohol intake, but, overall, the effect of parenthood on alcohol intake did not vary according to the context in which drinking occurs. Only one interaction between the parental role and contextual characteristics was found. Conclusions: Men's and women's alcohol intake within drinking contexts is more likely to be infl uenced by the immediate context in which drinking occurs than by their parental role. The explanation for alcohol behaviors within the general Canadian population may lie as much in the situation as in the person. (J. Stud Alcohol Drugs, 72, 259-269, 2011)

“…These have been obtained from drunken-driving offender and treatment populations (Perrine, 1970;Seizer et al, 1977), from driving populations at roadside (Borkenstein et al, 1964) and from general population studies (Casswell et al, 1993;Gruenewald et al, 1995;Single and Wortley, 1993;Stockwell et al, 1993). While all have noted the apparent cultural link between beer consumption and drinking and driving (see Berger and Snortum, 1986;Snortum et al, 1987), none has explicated the degree to which drinking and driving is separately related to beverage-specific use versus choice of drinking locations.…”

Beverage sales and drinking and driving: the role of on-premise drinking places.

ABSTRACT. Objective: The relationships between on-premise drinking places, beverage specific alcohol sales and drinking and driving were examined in a time series cross-sectional study of place-of-last-drink data from Perth, Western Australia. Method: At arrest, 2,411 drinking drivers reported their last location of consumption. Tabulated by 57 premises over 4 years, the rates at which individual premises were referenced as the place-of-last-drink were taken to reflect the relative distributions of numbers of drinking drivers coming from different premise types (hotels, taverns and nightclubs). The data were then statistically related to measures of premise types and characteristics and beverage specific alcohol sales. Results: Significant cross-sectional relationships were obtained between measures of premise types, alcohol sales and drinking and driving. Greatest numbers of drinking drivers came from taverns and from places selling greater amounts of beer and spirits. Significant longitudinal effects were obtained for sales of beer, proportions of high alcohol beer sold and sales of spirits. Conclusions: As a whole, the results suggest that, at least for Western Australia, outlets selling greater amounts of beer and spirits, and greater amounts of high alcohol beer, will produce larger numbers of drinking drivers.
