“…A considerable body of research has documented a relationship between alcohol outlet density and increased alcohol consumption [1][2][3][4][5] and societal harm [6][7][8][9]. Most studies assume a linear relationship, whereby consumption and/or harm increases incrementally as the number of liquor licences in a given area increases.…”

Introduction and Aims By specifying a threshold at which the number of liquor licences has the most impact on local populations, authorities can work to restrict licence approvals and help prevent alcohol‐related harm. Design and Methods Raine Study Generation 2 participants reported their alcohol intake at 22 years (n = 843) and liquor licences within 1600 m of participants' homes were mapped. Analyses examined associations between licences (all licences, on‐premise licences, liquor stores) and alcohol intake (g ethanol per day). Two models were fitted: (i) forced a straight‐line relationship; and (ii) allowed a curved relationship via restricted cubic splines. Results The straight‐line and curved models showed significant relationships with all licences (P = 0.002 and P = 0.002 respectively) and on‐premise licences (P = 0.006 and P = 0.01 respectively), but not liquor stores (P = 0.065 and P = 0.13 respectively). The straight‐line model indicated that alcohol consumption increased, on average, by 0.15 g per day for each additional licence and 0.17 g per day for each additional on‐premise licence. The curved model indicated that consumption increased by around 0.4 g per day for each additional licence from 0 to 10, but increases were negligible for additional licences beyond 10. The curved model provided a better overall fit to the data than the straight‐line model (R2 9.52% vs. 9.18%), but the improvement in fit did not quite reach statistical significance (P = 0.08). The curvature was similar, but less pronounced for on‐premise licences (R2 9.11% vs. 8.95%; P = 0.23). Discussion and Conclusions Results suggest a possible saturation point at which additional licences have a smaller effect on the alcohol intake of 22‐year‐olds living in metropolitan Perth.

“…Variation in price and density of alcohol outlets are the most commonly used measures of alcohol availability [4]. Alcohol outlet density, specifically, has been associated with different social problems, such as a violent crime [1,[5][6][7][8], traffic incidents [9][10][11], alcohol-related problems [12][13][14][15], child maltreatment [16][17][18], and intimate partner violence [19,20].…”

Alcohol outlets have been associated with different social problems, such as crime, violence, intimate partner violence, and child maltreatment. The spatial analysis of neighborhood availability of alcohol outlets is key for better understanding of these influences. Most studies on the spatial distribution of alcohol outlets in the community have been conducted in U.S. cities, but few studies have assessed this spatial distribution in other countries where the drinking culture may differ. The aim of this study was to analyze the spatiotemporal distribution of alcohol outlets in the city of Valencia, Spain, and its relationship with neighborhood-level characteristics, as well as to examine the influence of alcohol outlet density on alcohol-related police calls-for-service. Spain is characterized by having a "wet" drinking culture and greater social acceptance of drinking compared to the U.S. Data on alcohol outlets between 2010-2015 in three categories (off-premise, restaurants and cafes, and bars) were used for the analysis. We used the 552 census block groups allocated within the city as neighborhood unit. Data were analyzed using Bayesian spatiotemporal regression models. Results showed different associations between alcohol outlets categories and neighborhood variables: off-premise density was higher in areas with lower economic status, higher immigrant concentration, and lower residential instability; restaurant and cafe density was higher in areas with higher spatially-lagged economic status, and bar density was higher in areas with higher economic status and higher spatially-lagged economic status. Furthermore, restaurant and cafe density was negatively associated with alcohol-related police calls-for-service, while bar density was positively associated with alcohol-related calls-for-service. These results can be used to inform preventive strategies for alcohol-related problems at the neighborhood-level in Spain or other countries with a wet drinking culture. Future research would benefit from exploring the relationship between alcohol availability and different social problems in cities outside the U.S.

Estos negocios se clasifican en locales de consumo (p.ej., donde las bebidas son compradas e ingeridas en el mismo lugar, como bares y restaurantes) y locales de expendio (p.ej., donde el alcohol se vende para consumir fuera del lugar, como licorerías, supermercados) (Gruenewald, 2011).…”

La disponibilidad objetiva de alcohol (DO) se asocia al incremento del consumo de alcohol y problemas asociados. Variables cognitivas (p.ej., disponibilidad percibida de alcohol [DP]) también se relacionan con un mayor consumo. Objetivos. Se analizó la relación entre DO y DP con el consumo de alcohol, consecuencias negativas, la compra de bebidas alcohólicas y dinero gastado en alcohol dentro y fuera del área de residencia. Métodos. Participaron 356 jóvenes universitarios/as de 18 a 30 años residentes en la ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina) que completaron una encuesta online durante el año 2015. La DO fue determinada a partir de información provista por el gobierno municipal. Resultados. En las mujeres, una mayor DO y DP se asociaron significativamente con la compra de bebidas en esos negocios, consumo de alcohol, consecuencias negativas de este consumo y dinero gastado dentro del área de residencia. En los varones, la DP se asoció con la frecuencia mensual de consumo mientras que la DO y la DP se asociaron con la compra de bebidas en esos locales. Conclusiones. Los resultados, de utilidad para el planeamiento de intervenciones de reducción del consumo, indican una sensibilidad diferencial de hombres y mujeres a variables contextuales y cognitivas que regulan el consumo de alcohol.
