Alcohol Outlet Density:Community Guide Recommnedation
“The Task Force found sufficient evidence of a positive association between outlet density and excessive alcohol consumption and related harms to recommend limiting alcohol outlet density through the use of regulatory authority (e.g., licensing and zoning) as a means of reducing or controlling excessive alcohol consumption and related harms.”

The State Preemption Doctrine:A Potential Barrier to Local Action
Some States “preempt” or limit the ability of local governments to regulate community alcohol availability through CUPs, DAOs, and fees.
Local powers may vary both across and within States.

What is Dram Shop(Commercial Host) Liability?
A Form of Tort Liability:A party whose intentional, reckless or
negligent actions causes harm to another may be required to compensate the injured party.
![Page 22: James F. Mosher, JD Alcohol Policy Consultations June 9, 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56815fe7550346895dceeb42/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is Commercial Host Liability?
A form of tort liability that holds retailers responsible for alcohol-attributable harms caused by a patron who was illegally served alcohol because the patron was either intoxicated (“adult liability”) or underage (“underage liability”) at the time of service.
![Page 23: James F. Mosher, JD Alcohol Policy Consultations June 9, 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56815fe7550346895dceeb42/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Dram shop liability was associated with a substantial reductions in alcohol problems (a median reduction of 6.4 percent in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes)
Legislation that limited the scope of dram shop liability may undercut these positive effects

“The Task Force on Community Preventive Services recommends the use of dram shop liability laws, on the basis of strong evidence of effectiveness in preventing and reducing alcohol-related harms.”

40% or more of alcohol-related vehicle crashes originate in retail
establishments.

Why Commercial Host Liability?
Commercial host liability common
law rules substantially raise
the stakesfor violating these
laws and encourage adoption of Responsible
Beverage Service practices.
![Page 28: James F. Mosher, JD Alcohol Policy Consultations June 9, 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56815fe7550346895dceeb42/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How is Commercial Host Liability Established?
In the absence of legislative guidance, courts are able to establish these rules through their “common law” powers.
State legislatures may establish the parameters of tort liability using numerous, often complex, rules for when, how, and how much compensation is permitted.
![Page 29: James F. Mosher, JD Alcohol Policy Consultations June 9, 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56815fe7550346895dceeb42/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Alcohol Taxes:Community Guide Findings
Higher alcohol prices or taxes were consistently related to: Fewer motor vehicle crashes and fatalities (10 of
11 studies)Less alcohol-impaired driving (3 of 3 studies)Less mortality from liver cirrhosis (5 of 5 studies)Less all-cause mortality (1 study)
Effects also were demonstrated for measures of violence, sexually transmitted diseases, and alcohol dependence.
Reductions in excessive alcohol consumption are proportional to the size of the tax increaseElder et al. Am J Prev Med 2010;38(2):17–29

Alcohol Taxes:Community Guide Recommendation
“The Task force on Community Preventive Services recommends increasing the unit price of alcohol by raising taxes based on strong evidence of effectiveness for reducing excessive alcohol consumption and related harms. Public health effects are expected to be proportional to the size of the tax increase.”
![Page 31: James F. Mosher, JD Alcohol Policy Consultations June 9, 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56815fe7550346895dceeb42/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Alcohol Taxes: Meta-Analysis
Wagenaar et al. Addiction 2009Meta-analysis of 110 studies containing 1,003 estimates of relationship between tax and price of alcohol and alcohol consumption
“A large literature establishes that beverage alcohol prices and taxes are related inversely to drinking. Effects are large compared to other prevention policies and programs. Public policies that raise prices of alcohol are an effective means to reduce drinking.”
![Page 32: James F. Mosher, JD Alcohol Policy Consultations June 9, 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56815fe7550346895dceeb42/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Alcohol Taxes
Local, State and federal governments impose alcohol taxes.
State preemption limits the extent of local taxation.
Taxes can be volume- or price-based (excise or ad valorem/sales).
Unlike alcohol outlet density and dram shop liability, taxes are easy to implement and enforce.
Tax increases increase governmental revenue.

Challenges to Developing a Public Health Approach to Alcohol Regulation
Conflict exists between commercial interests and public health policy reform, particularly at the
state/federal levels
![Page 36: James F. Mosher, JD Alcohol Policy Consultations June 9, 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56815fe7550346895dceeb42/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Challenge:Push for Deregulation
Increasing pressure in states to deregulate alcohol sales to increase revenues Expand number, permissible locations, and types of
alcohol outlets Privatize retail monopoly systems Increase hours and days of sale
Once instituted, deregulatory measures are hard to reverse because new economic stakeholders are established
![Page 37: James F. Mosher, JD Alcohol Policy Consultations June 9, 2013](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56815fe7550346895dceeb42/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Way Forward
Implementation of alcohol policy reforms are feasible and have potential for significant public health gains
Public health constituencies can play an instrumental role in the process Assessing and disseminating scientific findings Educating decision makers and key
constituencies Providing expertise to state and local coalitions Conducting evaluations to determine
effectiveness of interventions
