This article summarizes current scientific evidence about the impact of public policy measures on alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes. The public policy measures considered are (1) minimum drinking age laws, (2) taxation of alcoholic beverages, (3) drinking and driving laws, (4) laws and regulations governing the physical availability of alcoholic beverages, and (5) server intervention programs. It is concluded that certain public policy measures reduce alcohol-related crashes. These measures include higher taxes on alcoholic beverages and at least some laws and regulations governing the physical availability of alcohol (as well as the minimum drinking age). The article suggests that strengthening drinking and driving laws without also adopting these other measures may have less than optimum (and possibly disappointing) effects.
本文总结了关于公共政策措施对与酒精相关的机动车碰撞事故影响的当前科学证据。所考虑的公共政策措施包括：（1）最低饮酒年龄法；（2）酒精饮料税；（3）酒后驾驶法；（4）关于酒精饮料实际可得性的法律法规；（5）服务器干预计划。结论是，某些公共政策措施可减少与酒精相关的碰撞事故。这些措施包括提高酒精饮料税以及至少一些关于酒精实际可得性的法律法规（以及最低饮酒年龄）。文章表明，在不采取其他这些措施的情况下加强酒后驾驶法可能产生的效果低于最佳水平（甚至可能令人失望）。
