“…Twenty-two studies in the review evaluated the effects of changes in alcohol price 28,44,51,61,72,83,93,100 or taxes 24–26,29–31,66,69,85–87,98,101,103 on various alcohol related harms. The most common outcomes evaluated were motor-vehicle crashes (including crash fatalities), various measures of violence, and liver cirrhosis.…”

A systematic review of the literature to assess the effectiveness of alcohol tax policy interventions for reducing excessive alcohol consumption and related harms was conducted for the Guide to Community Preventive Services (Community Guide). Seventy-two papers or technical reports, which were published prior to July 2005, met specifıed quality criteria, and included evaluation outcomes relevant to public health (e.g., binge drinking, alcohol-related crash fatalities), were included in the fınal review. Nearly all studies, including those with different study designs, found that there was an inverse relationship between the tax or price of alcohol and indices of excessive drinking or alcohol-related health outcomes. Among studies restricted to underage populations, most found that increased taxes were also signifıcantly associated with reduced consumption and alcohol-related harms. According to Community Guide rules of evidence, these results constitute strong evidence that raising alcohol excise taxes is an effective strategy for reducing excessive alcohol consumption and related harms. The impact of a potential tax increase is expected to be proportional to its magnitude and to be modifıed by such factors as disposable income and the demand elasticity for alcohol among various population groups.

“…When compared with married adults, greater alcohol consumption is characteristic of the divorced (Heien & Pompelli, 1987; Linsky, Straus, Colby, & Jr., 1985) and the never married (Power, Rodgers, & Hope, 1999; Simon, 2002). Although reduced alcohol use among married individuals is robustly observed, methodological issues inherent in correlational research cast doubt on the mechanisms behind this so-called marriage benefit regarding its role in decreased alcohol use and abuse.…”

Married adults have consistently been found to drink less than their single or divorced counterparts. This correlation may not be causal, however, as people nonrandomly “select” into marriage and into alcohol use. The current study uses a sample of 2,425 same-sex twin pairs (1,703 MZ; 722 DZ) to control for genetic and shared environmental selection, thereby eliminating a great many third variable, alternative explanations to the hypothesis that marriage causes less drinking. Married twins were compared with their single, divorced, and cohabiting co-twins on drinking frequency and quantity. Married co-twins consumed fewer alcoholic beverages than their single or divorced co-twins, and drank less frequently than their single co-twins. Alcohol use patterns did not differ among married and cohabiting twins. These findings provide strong evidence that intimate relationships cause a decline in alcohol consumption.

“…For instance, Newman (1988) recently noted that downward mobility patterns, like those of the 1980s, may be particularly stressful for working parents and that increased rates of suicide, depression, physical brutality, and alcoholism are to be expected in such circumstances. Thus, the lower class decline in economic well-being and the increased dissolution of the family during the 1980s may also help to explain the current existence of drug subcultural groups (Query 1985;Linksey et al 1985;Heien and Pompelli 1987).…”
