We determined the relative risk of alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents and fatalities after New Mexico lifted its ban on Sunday packaged alcohol sales. We extracted all alcohol-related crashes from New Mexico police reports for 3652 days between July 1, 1990, and June 30, 2000, and found a 29% increase in alcohol-related crashes and a 42% increase in alcohol-related crash fatalities on Sundays after the ban on Sunday packaged alcohol sales was lifted. There was an estimated excess of 543.1 alcohol-related crashes and 41.6 alcohol-related crash fatalities on Sundays after the ban was lifted. Repealing the ban on Sunday packaged alcohol sales introduced a public health and safety hazard in New Mexico.
在新墨西哥州取消周日酒类包装销售禁令后,我们确定了与酒精相关的机动车事故及死亡的相对风险。我们从新墨西哥州警方报告中提取了1990年7月1日至2000年6月30日期间3652天内所有与酒精相关的撞车事故,发现取消周日酒类包装销售禁令后,周日与酒精相关的撞车事故增加了29%,与酒精相关的撞车事故死亡人数增加了42%。据估计,禁令取消后,周日与酒精相关的撞车事故多出543.1起,与酒精相关的撞车事故死亡人数多出41.6人。取消周日酒类包装销售禁令给新墨西哥州带来了公共健康和安全隐患。
