Licensed alcohol establishments that serve alcohol on their premises (i.e., bars and restaurants) directly influence the blood alcohol content (BAC) levels of their customers through their serving practices. Excessive alcohol consumption at licensed establishments leads to high BAC levels, which in turn leads to increased impairment and alcohol-related problems such as traffic crashes and violence. Professional service staff who provide alcohol to individuals who show obvious signs of intoxication (i.e., overservice) contribute to these problems. Overservice of alcohol is prohibited by law in 48 states but little research has been conducted on enforcement of overservice laws. Law enforcement agencies are motivated to enforce alcohol service laws but have limited resources and want guidance on which strategies are effective. We propose to conduct an evaluation of an innovative overservice enforcement strategy currently being used in communities in Minnesota as well as other U.S. states—place of last drink initiatives (POLD). In a POLD initiative, when responding to an alcohol-related incident (e.g., driving under the influence, assault), law enforcement agents ask about and record the place where an intoxicated individual last drank alcohol. These data are regularly monitored to identify patterns of overservice of alcohol. Establishments that are regularly identified as a POLD source are visited by law enforcement, are required to attend training, and/or receive a penalty (e.g., license suspension). This may lead to fewer sales to obviously intoxicated customers, and ultimately, reductions in alcohol-related problems. We propose a three-year study to assess the following aims: (1) evaluate effects of POLD enforcement on alcohol-related crime in POLD vs. comparison communities, (2) assess likelihood of overservice of alcohol at alcohol establishments in POLD vs. comparison communities, (3) assess attitudes/perceptions and policies/practices pertaining to responsible service and overservice enforcement among manager and servers of alcohol establishments in POLD vs. comparison communities. Findings will provide guidance for law enforcement agencies attempting to reduce overservice of alcohol and alcohol-related problems and inform future randomized control trials.

直接在其经营场所（即酒吧和餐馆）提供酒类服务的持照酒类场所 通过他们的服务实践影响顾客的血液酒精含量 (BAC) 水平。 在有执照的场所饮酒会导致 BAC 水平升高，进而导致 BAC 水平升高 损害和酒精相关问题，例如交通事故和暴力 专业服务人员。 提供酒精 表现出明显醉酒迹象（即过度服务）的个人会导致这些 48 个州法律禁止过度饮酒，但对此进行的研究很少。 执法机构有动力执行酒类服务法，但 资源有限，需要有关哪些策略有效的指导。 对明尼苏达州社区目前正在使用的创新型过度服务执法策略的评估 以及美国其他州——最后饮酒地点倡议 (POLD) 在 POLD 倡议中，当响应一项活动时。 与酒精相关的事件（例如酒后驾车、袭击），执法人员询问并 记录醉酒者最后一次饮酒的地点。定期监测这些数据。 确定过度饮酒的模式 经常被确定为 POLD 来源的场所是 被执法部门查访、被要求参加培训和/或受到处罚（例如吊销执照）。 这可能会导致对明显喝醉的顾客的销售减少，并最终减少与酒精相关的产品 我们提出一项为期三年的研究来评估以下目标：（1）评估 POLD 的效果。 POLD 与对比社区对酒精相关犯罪的执法力度，(2) 评估 POLD 与对比社区相比，酒精场所的酒精服务过度，(3) 评估 有关负责任服务和过度服务执法的态度/看法和政策/做法 POLD 与比较社区的酒类场所经理和服务员之间的调查结果将。 为试图减少酗酒和与酒精相关的过度服务的执法机构提供指导 问题并为未来的随机对照试验提供信息。
