Abstract
TRAFFIC accidents are one of the leading causes of death in the United States and are the leading cause of death for people aged three to thirtyfour. It is estimated that alcohol is involved in approximately half of all fatal accidents.' The deaths and injuries of nondrinking drivers, passengers, and pedestrians both arouse public opinion and provide a clear-cut efficiency rationale for policies to correct the negative externalities.2 There are two types of policies aimed at reducing drunk driving. The first type of law attempts to deter drunk driving. The second type of law indirectly reduces drunk driving by controlling alcohol consumption, either in general or in high-risk groups.
