According to the United States Public Health Service, over 100,000
deaths a year are attributable to alcohol, including 20,000 highway
fatalities. In response, legislatures have enacted various forms of
regulation intended both to reduce alcohol consumption and to curb
its harmful effects. This groundbreaking study focuses on one such
form of regulation, the liability imposed on alcohol servers and
social hosts by tort law. Basing their analysis on important new
data from their extensive research and in-depth interviews with
actors on all sides of the issue, the authors conclude that,
despite their relative unpopularity, tort laws are very effective
in reducing accidents--even more than criminal sanctions.
Extraordinary in scope and exacting in detail, "Drinkers, Drivers,
and Bartenders: Balancing Private Choices and Public
Accountability" links alcohol problems, deterrence, and serving
practices in a way no other work has been able to do and is certain
to become a crucial reference point for researchers and
policymakers alike.
