Description

1. Introduction In recent years, motor vehicle accidents have led to over 40,000 deaths annually in the United States, and alcohol-related accidents account for about 40% of these deaths. Legally drunk drivers are much more dangerous on the road than sober drivers, (1) so considerable effort has been devoted to reducing the incidence of alcohol-impaired driving. Policies targeting drunk driving include alcohol taxes, increases in the legal drinking age, educational efforts, more stringent blood alcohol content (BAC) limits, and increased punishments for those arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DU1). (2) In this article we evaluate the impact of an additional policy instrument for reducing the incidence of drunk driving: the supply of substance abuse treatment (SAT).
