“…First, it was important to note that this was a quasiexperimental study with limitations in the type of data used, the information available in that data, and the ability to control for other potential explanations. This study relied on official records of police stops for DUI, but Liu et al (1997) suggest that the majority of drunk drivers are not detected by police. Gruenewald, Mitchell, et al (1996, p. 1641) similarly suggest that "arrest data cover only 0.5 percent of total self-reported rates of drunken driving."…”

“…2 There are also survey data asking drivers whether they have driven when they have "had too much to drink" (Liu et al 1997). In addition to any question about the accuracy of the responses given, these surveys have not attempted to ask drivers to report the percentage of miles driven with and without the influence of alcohol.…”

We present a methodology for measuring the risks posed by drinking drivers that relies solely on readily available data on fatal crashes. The key to our identification strategy is a hidden richness inherent in twocar crashes. Drivers with alcohol in their blood are seven times more likely to cause a fatal crash; legally drunk drivers pose a risk 13 times greater than sober drivers. The externality per mile driven by a drunk driver is at least 30 cents. At current enforcement rates the punishment per arrest for drunk driving that internalizes this externality would be equivalent to a fine of $8,000.

There are a number of reasons why it is hard to situate our current findings within the broader literature on DUIA and the role of ethnicity.…”

“…One question is how we explain the observed differences in ethnic group disparities found across studies. For instance, depending on the study, the ethnic group with the highest prevalence of DUIA varies from White or non-White Hispanic (Caetano and McGrath, 2005;Caetano and Clark, 2000;Johnson et al, 1998;Liu et al, 1997;Walker et al, 2003), to Hispanic (Ferguson et al, 2002;Voas et al, 1998;Watt, 2004), to Native American (Cheung et al, 1999;Chou et al, 2005Chou et al, , 2006, with varying or limited explanations offered for these inconsistencies. This point has been acknowledged by Caetano and McGrath (2005) in their study of drinking and driving among ethnic groups in the United States.…”
