Reduction of alcohol-impaired driving can be considered from both sides of the problem: how to reduce traffic problems and how to reduce alcohol impairment. A variety of alcohol control and regulation strategies have been found to reduce alcohol impairment among drivers. In order to review and synthesize many of the most promising strategies in alcohol regulation, the Alcohol, Other Drugs, and Transportation Committee of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) convened a workshop to discuss the role of alcohol regulation in traffic safety. The workshop was held June 5–6, 2006, at the National Academies’ Beckman Conference Center in Irvine, California. This report provides an overview of the information presented and the discussions among the participants as well as the background papers prepared for the workshop.
