“…The Nordic studies provided some evidence that changes in alcohol availability were particularly likely to affect young or marginalised drinkers [20]. In addition, studies that have examined extensions of opening hours [68,69] have found that problematic drinkers were the most likely to make use of increased availability. This raises the possibility that effects of outlet density which are specific to smaller subgroups may be difficult to detect using population-level data.…”

Increasingly, it seems, legal and political debates regarding the granting of new liquor licences are turning to the issue of whether the number and density of alcohol outlets makes a difference in rates of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm. But what is the state of the evidence on this question? In this Harm Reduction Digest Livingston, Chikritzhs and Room review the research literature on the effects of density of alcohol sales outlets on alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems; suggest a new way of conceptualising the relationships; and discuss the implications for reducing alcohol-related harm.

More recently evaluations of the public health and safety impact of extended trading permit hours were conducted in Perth, Australia (Chikritzhs et al, 1997).…”

Purpose-On 1 May 1996, Ontario, Canada amended the Liquor Licence Act to extend the hours of alcohol sales and service in licensed establishments from 1 to 2 a.m. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the road safety impact of extended drinking hours in Ontario.Method-A quasi-experimental design using interrupted time series with a nonequivalent nointervention control group was used to assess changes. The analyzed data sets are total and alcoholrelated, monthly, traffic fatalities for Ontario, for the 11-12 p.m., 12-1 a.m., 1-2 a.m. and 2-3 a.m. time windows, for Sunday through Wednesday nights and for Thursday through Saturday nights, for 4 years pre-and 3 years post-policy change, compared to neighbouring regions of New York and Michigan.Results-The blood alcohol concentration positive driver fatality trends reflected downward trends for Sunday-Wednesday 12-2 a.m. and Thursday-Saturday 1-2 a.m. for Ontario and downward trends for Thursday-Saturday 12-1 a.m. and 2-3 a.m. for New York and Michigan after the extended drinking hour policy change. Ontario total fatality data showed similar trends to the Ontario blood alcohol positive trends.Conclusions-The multiple datasets converge in suggesting little impact on BAC positive fatalities with extension of the closing hours. These observations are consistent with other studies of small changes in alcohol availability. KeywordsDrinking hours; Alcohol control policy; Collisions; Fatalities *Corresponding author.

“…In addition to attempts to control access to alcohol (Smith 1986;Forster et al 1995;Norstrom and Skog 2005;Casswell and Thamarangsi 2009), mandatory warnings are used in some jurisdictions. Warning labels seek to inform consumers and hence constitute a form of decisional support.…”
