“…The research indicates that this border region has widely established and problematic alcoholrelated behaviours among young adults (Clapp et al, 2001;Lange et al, 1999;Lange and Voas, 2001;Voas et al, 2002aVoas et al, , 2002b. Specifically, an estimated 1000 US San Diegans return from Tijuana, Mexico, every hour between midnight and 5:00 a.m. after drinking (Baker et al, 2000). Tijuana's popularity is a result of its lower legal drinking age, fewer restrictions on alcohol sales, lower alcohol prices and less law enforcement than is present in the US (Baker et al, 2000).…”

“…Specifically, an estimated 1000 US San Diegans return from Tijuana, Mexico, every hour between midnight and 5:00 a.m. after drinking (Baker et al, 2000). Tijuana's popularity is a result of its lower legal drinking age, fewer restrictions on alcohol sales, lower alcohol prices and less law enforcement than is present in the US (Baker et al, 2000). While Mexico does not provide an example of an increase in the hours of sale, the border surveys did demonstrate the impact upon cross-border drinkers of reducing the drinking hours.…”

Purpose-This study evaluated the cross-border safety impact of extended drinking hours from 1:00 to 2:00 a.m., in licensed establishments in Ontario, Canada.Methods-This study examined patterns in total and alcohol-related casualties in: (1) Windsor, Ontario, Canada compared to Detroit, Michigan, US with a 2:00 a.m. closing time, and (2) Ontario compared to Michigan for overall trends. The criterion outcome indicators were: (1) monthly motor vehicle casualties (major injuries and fatalities) for the city-regions of Windsor and Detroit and (2) Ontario and Michigan monthly motor vehicle fatalities occurring between 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. for 4 years pre-and 3 years post-policy change. In order to examine cross-border drinking consequences, data were disaggregated to assess trends of motor vehicle injury collisions involving vehicles with US licence plates and with US drivers aged 16-20 in the Windsor region; similarly trends were assessed for motor vehicle injury collisions involving vehicles with Ontario licence plates in the Detroit region.Results-The Windsor region total motor vehicle casualty data showed a non-significant pre-post increase, while the Detroit region showed a statistically significant decrease for total motor vehicle casualties. In the Windsor region, a significant increase was found for alcohol-related motor vehicle casualties after the drinking hours were extended. However, the Detroit region showed a statistically significant decrease in alcohol-related motor vehicle casualties concomitant with Ontario's drinking hour extension. No similar trends were found for the province of Ontario and the state of Michigan as a whole. Moreover, a significant decrease was found for injury collisions involving vehicles with Ontario licence plates in the Detroit region but no similar pattern was found for injury collisions involving vehicles with US licence plates and with 16-20-year-old US drivers in the Windsor region.Discussion-These data seem to support a cross-border impact of the Ontario extended drinking policy. A significant increase in alcohol-related motor vehicle casualties was found in the Windsor region and concomitantly, significant decreases in total and alcohol-related motor vehicle casualties were found in the Detroit region after the extended drinking hours amendment.

“…In the studies that have focused on youth, aspects of retail availability such as privatization, hours and days of alcohol sales, and outlet density have been associated with changes in alcohol sales to underage youth, shifts in beverage choice to more readily accessible alcoholic beverage types, and drinking behavior (Kelley Baker, Johnson, Voas, & Lange, 2000;Todd, Gruenewald, Grube, Remer, & Banerjee, 2006;Valli, 1998). Among college students-many of whom are under the legal drinking age-outlet density surrounding college campuses has been found to correlate not only with heavy drinking and frequent drinking, but also with drinking-related problems (Weitzman, Folkman, Folkman, & Wechsler, 2003).…”

Underage Drinking refers to any use of alcohol by persons under the legal drinking age of 21. Consumption and/or purchase of alcohol by persons under the age of 21 is illegal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. According to the NIAAA Alcohol Policy Information System (APIS) while all 50 States and DC prohibit underage possession, only 30 prohibit consumption and 47 prohibit purchase. Justification: Alcohol led to 3,170 deaths and 2.6 million other harmful events among underage drinkers in the US in 2001. Underage drinking is associated with a host of problems, including traffic crashes and fatalities, unwanted and risky sex, pregnancy, and intentional injury. It is estimated that underage drinking costs America as much as $61.5 billion each year. Studies have shown that youth who begin drinking at an early age are at a 3-5 fold increased risk of problem drinking later in life. Measurement of the Problem Recommended Indicator/Measure 1: Current use of alcohol by persons under the age of 21 years Definition: Percent of persons aged 12 and older reporting any use of alcohol within the past 30 days and past year.

“…Hispanics tend to be particularly at risk of drinking and driving near the border with Mexico (McKinnon, O'Rourke, Thompson, & Berumen, 2004). The minimum legal drinking age in Mexico is 18, and bars in Mexican border towns cater to American youth, who are encouraged to drink heavily by offers of low prices and tolerance of drunken behavior Lange, Lauer, & Voas, 1999;Romano et al, 2004, Kelley Baker, Johnson, Voas, & Lange, 2000. Research has revealed that, on weekend evenings, thousands of youth (20 and younger) and young adults (21 to 25) residing in communities along the U.S. border go to Mexico to patronize all-night bars .…”
