“…Our observation of a higher service rate later at night is consistent with previous observations [17,20,43], as was the increased likelihood of over-serving with greater intoxication level of other patrons [17,43,44] and with high music (or noise) level [18]. Consistent with Hughes et al [18], we found that over-serving was associated with a sum-score of indicators of problematic bars.…”

“…Consistent with previous studies [20,46], we found that a high noise level and low lighting increased the likelihood of over-serving. In a recent qualitative study, bartenders attributed over-serving to hectic working conditions, loud music, and many guests [13].…”

“…These factors were mainly characteristics of the drinking establishments and the bartenders. Some studies have found that over-serving is more likely to occur later in the evening and in drinking establishments with mainly young guests [20], in venues with a bouncer present, and in venues with a generally high level of intoxication among the guests [17]. Bartender characteristics that have been found to increase the likelihood of over-serving include being male [14,17] and young [14,16].…”

Aims: To address characteristics of drinking establishments, bartenders and patrons that may affect the likelihood of over-serving.Design: A systematic examination of 425 purchase attempts with pseudo-intoxicated patrons enacting scripts that, according to the law, should lead to the denial of alcohol sales.Setting: Drinking establishments in the three largest cities in Norway were visited by male and female actors aged 20-30 years on weekend nights.Measurements: Over-serving was recorded when the pseudo-intoxicated patron was served alcohol. Characteristics of the drinking establishment, the bartender and the pseudointoxicated patron were systematically recorded.Results: Pseudo-intoxicated patrons were served in 347 of 425 purchase attempts (82%). In bi-variate analyses, over-serving rate increased with venue characteristics, music/noise level and intoxication level among patrons. These factors were inter-correlated and correlated with poor lighting. Over-serving rate was also higher when the pseudo-intoxicated patron was female and when the purchase attempt occurred after midnight. In multi-variate analyses, two factors increased the likelihood of over-serving significantly: a high problematic bar indicator score (poor lighting, high music/noise level and high intoxication level among patrons) (adjusted OR=3.5, 95% CI = 1.9 , 6.4) and female gender of pseudo-intoxicated patron (adjusted OR=2.6, 95% CI=1.4 , 4.7). The rate of over-serving was 95% when both risk factors were present and 67 % when both factors were absent. Conclusions:In the Norwegian intoxication oriented drinking culture, over-serving occurs frequently, even in the absence of risk factors such as poor lighting, loud music and high intoxication level among patrons.

“…In the STAD project, the level of over-serving did in fact decrease drastically, which could explain the reduced level of violence (Wallin et al, 2005). Previous research using purchase attempts with pseudo-intoxicated patrons has shown that the level of over-serving in Oslo is high, and although a slight decrease has taken place, this decrease does not seem to be stronger in the SALUTT area than in other areas of the city (Baklien and Buvik, 2014;Buvik and Rossow, 2015).…”

“…The STAD intervention included RBS-training of the staff and owners of licensed premises combined with increased enforcement by the police and the municipality. It was documented to have produced impressive results with regard to the reduction of alcohol-related violence, and the key publications have a high citation rate (Wallin et al, 2005(Wallin et al, , 2004(Wallin et al, , 2003. The intervention stands out in a literature with rather few success stories (Graham and Homel, 2008).…”

a b s t r a c tBackground: The Stockholm Prevents Alcohol and Drug Problems (STAD) programme has been regarded as one of the most successful programmes to date, in reducing alcohol-related violence. This multicomponent Responsible Beverage Service (RBS) programme was implemented in Stockholm, Sweden, and has been documented to be extremely effective in reducing alcohol-related nightlife violence. The SALUTT programme in Oslo, Norway was carefully modelled on the STAD project. Aim: We investigate whether the results from STAD were replicated in the SALUTT intervention. Design: Using geocoded data, the level of violence in the intervention area was compared with different control areas before and after the intervention. Statistics: Autoregressive moving average models (ARIMA). Findings: The SALUTT programme had no statistically significant effect on violence. However, the level of violence in the different potential control areas of Oslo fluctuated without a clear common trend. Hence, it was difficult to establish proper control areas. Conclusions:The results from the Swedish STAD-intervention were not replicated in Oslo. Successful interventions are not necessarily replicated in other contexts, and the current literature does not shed sufficient light on the conditions under which such interventions actually work. Moreover, more attention should be devoted to the identification of adequate control areas in future research.
