This study replicates work in Norway and the United States in investigating the extent to which Australian drivers attempt to comply with drinking-driving legislation. In a four-state survey of 1,133 drinkers, it was found that people were aware of the need to control their alcohol input before driving, and derived estimates of blood alcohol after a recent away-from-home drinking occasion demonstrated that the amount people drank was influenced by whether or not they were driving. Drivers reported drinking less than nondrivers and were also those who usually consumed less alcohol. These findings were also true of people with different levels of normal consumption. Although these results are encouraging, it is suggested that there is need for further modification of sanctions, and that the community needs more information about the alcohol content of drinks and drink sizes if people are to moderate effectively their drinking before driving.
本研究重复了挪威和美国的相关工作，以调查澳大利亚司机遵守酒驾法规的程度。在一项对1133名饮酒者进行的四州调查中发现，人们意识到开车前需要控制酒精摄入量，近期一次离家饮酒后的血液酒精含量估算结果表明，人们饮酒量受到是否开车的影响。司机报告的饮酒量少于非司机，而且通常饮酒量也较少。不同正常饮酒量水平的人也都有这些发现。尽管这些结果令人鼓舞，但建议进一步调整处罚措施，并且如果人们要在开车前有效控制饮酒量，社区需要更多关于饮料酒精含量和饮用量的信息。
