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.

直接在其场所（即酒吧和餐馆）提供酒精的许可酒精场所 通过服务实践影响客户的血液酒精含量（BAC）。过多的 许可机构的饮酒导致BAC级别高，进而导致增加 减值和与酒精有关的问题，例如交通崩溃和暴力。专业服务人员 向表现出明显的中毒迹象的个人提供酒精（即过度服务）对这些 问题。在48个州法律禁止酒精过度服务，但很少进行研究 执行过度服务法。执法机构有动力执行酒精服务法，但 资源有限，并希望指导哪些策略有效。我们建议进行 评估目前在明尼苏达州社区中使用的创新过度服务执法策略 以及其他美国州 - 最后一项饮料计划（POLD）。在一个pold倡议中，回应 与酒精有关的事件（例如，在影响下驾驶，袭击），执法人员询问和 记录一个醉酒的人最后一次喝酒的地方。这些数据经常监视 确定酒精过度服务的模式。定期识别为pold源的机构是 执法部门访问，必须参加培训和/或受到罚款（例如，吊销）。 这可能会导致明显陶醉的客户的销售量减少，并最终减少与酒精有关的销售 问题。我们提出了一项为期三年的研究来评估以下目的：（1）评估POLD的评估效果 关于酗酒有关的犯罪与比较社区的执行，（2）评估的可能性 在POLD与比较社区中酒精场所的酒精过度服务，（3）评估 态度/看法和政策/惯例与负责任的服务和过度服务执法有关 在POLD与比较社区的酒精场所的经理和服务器中。调查结果会 为试图减少酒精和酒精相关的过度服务的执法机构提供指导 问题并告知未来的随机对照试验。
