TL;DR
Outlet density and preferred drinking location when considered together with individual drinking patterns support driving after drinking and thereby increase the potential for alcohol-related accidents.
Abstract
Increased restaurant density is strongly related to higher rates of both self-reported driving after drinking and drinking frequency. The strongest influence on both driving after drinking and driving while intoxicated is preferred drinking location considered together with individual drinking patterns. Outlet density and preferred drinking location when considered together with individual drinking patterns support driving after drinking and thereby increase the potential for alcohol-related accidents.

It is indicated that increased alcohol availability is geographically associated with increased alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes and that this association is independent of measured confounders.

The results of the analysis showed that physical availability was unrelated to self-reports of driving after drinking and driving while intoxicated and significantly related to rates of single vehicle night-time crashes.

A theoretical model of the relationships of drinking patterns and drinking behaviors to drinking and driving is derived and it is concluded that observed socio-demographic differences in Drinking and driving are due to related differences in drinking patternsand drinking behaviors.

Results showed that frequencies of drinking were exponentially distributed; probabilities of continued drinking were best characterized by a log-logistic function; and estimates of modal and total drinking levels derived from the model were substantively related to self reports.

Analysis of time-series cross-sectional data from 38 states over 12 years showed that rates of single-vehicle nighttime fatal crashes were most strongly related toSales of beer and less so to sales of spirits and wine, and the physical availability of alcohol was not related to measurable changes in fatal crash rates.

Time-series analysis for the period from January 1973 through December 1982 found LBD was associated with statistically significant increases of 16 to 24% in both the number of police-reported alcohol-related accidents and in single vehicle nighttime accidents among male drivers 21 years of age and older in counties implementing LBD.

Alcohol availability seems to be related to self-reported injury, however, the mechanisms behind this relationship are not clear, and further study is indicated.

Using data on the 254 counties in the US state of Texas, the results show that alcohol availability has a significant impact on alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents and alcohol vendor restrictions can be an important policy tool in reducing such accidents.

Assaults uniquely involve the use of alcohol and selection bias may threaten ER study validity, and drinking patterns were significant non-linear predictors of alcohol involvement.

The current approach provides a means of representing drinking risks in terms of three drinking measures-frequency, average drinks per occasion, and variance-and provides a mathematical representation of how injury risks can be predicted from drinking patterns.

38 Citations1993Yu Jiang, William R. Williford
A hypothesis that stipulates problem drinking and high-risk driving as two necessary conditions of drunk driving is tested, showing problem drinking to have consistent and significant effects on repeat DWI offenses and on the frequency of self-reported drinking-driving events.

The predictions of this approach showed that variables related to greater time-energy budgets for consumption wererelated to greater consumption levels and greater utilization of on-premise establishments, reflecting the expected moderation in costs for heavier consumers on a limited alcohol budget.

The results suggest that the association of beer consumption with drinking-driving arises from the circumstances in which the subpopulation of beer drinkers more commonly find themselves, as a result of their efforts to maximize the social and amenity value of drinking, as opposed to any culturally induced disposition beer drinkers may have to drink and drive.

A point of diminishing returns in single vehicle fatalities was found when the outlet density was less than one outlet per million of the drinking age population, which appears to reflect the additional driving required to make purchases in areas where outlets are sparse.
