Effect on traffic accidents of
introducing Sunday alcohol sales in Brisbane, Australia.
by
Smith DI
Western Australian Alcohol and Drug Authority, West Perth.
Following introduction of Sunday alcohol sale sessions in Brisbane,
there were significant increases in the number of Sunday casualty and reported
property damage accidents. The increases still applied during a second 3-year
after period. By contrast, none of the various control comparisons gave
significant results in the same direction. It was concluded that the study had
documented the ongoing adverse effect on traffic accidents of introducing
Sunday sessions in Brisbane.

Drunk Driving is
No Accident!
By
David J. Stewart
Every year millions of innocent people are murdered by drunk drivers around
the world. Such alcohol related fatalities are often referred to as
“accidents.”
May I say, drunk-driving
is no accident. People CHOOSE to drink alcohol. By choosing to consume the
drug alcohol, they are wilfully risking the chances of getting buzzed,
toasted, drunk... whatever you want to call it.
If you wilfully choose to
consume alcohol, then you are willfully engaging in a game of Russian
Roulette. Proverb 20:1 and 17, “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging:
and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. ... Bread of deceit is sweet
to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.” The
Bible warns about the deceptive nature of booze, i.e., STRONG DRINK.
By Biblical standards, beer is considered strong drink, because it
intoxicates the drinker after just a few drinks.
Alcohol is something
better left alone. With all the refreshments available, there is no need to
drink beer. People make all sorts of lame excuses to drink beer... calling
it medicine, nutrition, a relaxant; but beer is dangerous to consume!
Sunday trading and road crashes
- The introduction (or marked increase) in
Sunday alcohol sales in Michigan, Perth, New South Wales, Victoria,
Finland and Sweden resulted in increases in road death and injuries and/or
violence (Smith 1988; Peberdy 1991). In New South Wales there were
considerable increases in road deaths and injuries, despite alcohol already
being available on Sundays in clubs.
-
Restrictions on the sale of alcohol on Sundays
are the international norm. Many states and countries restrict Sunday liquor
sales, partially or totally. Most Australian states do permit Sunday trading
but with limited hours, usually opening around midday. In England, but not
Wales and Monmouthshire, pubs open at lunchtime and in the evening on
Sunday. In Scotland licensees may apply to open on Sundays, with grounds for
refusal including undue disturbance or public nuisance.
However, some parts
of Australia and most Canadian provinces do not permit Sunday opening.
Western Australia is similar to New Zealand with only private clubs serving
alcohol on Sundays. In Manitoba, too, only clubs may serve liquor on
Sundays, with meals and with kitchens fully operational. In Norway, the
state monopoly liquor stores closed from 1 pm on Saturday, as well as
Sunday, after a trial closure period in 1991 showed a decrease in assault
rates, drunkenness, and domestic disturbances, without diminishing total
liquor sales (Lenke 1984; Lindh 1988), although this decision later met with
political reversal.

Police fear more DUIs are
coming
Arizona Daily Star, AZ, August 21, 2004
Local public-safety agencies are gearing up for what some studies have shown
could be a deadly change - beginning Wednesday, Arizonans will have one more
hour to buy alcohol as liquor sales hours are extended to 2 a.m.
There's limited national research and a lot of local uncertainty about exactly
how much the extra hour of drinking time will affect public safety and efforts
to reduce irresponsible drinking. But Tucson police are bulking up late-night
patrols to handle potential increases in drunken driving and other
alcohol-fueled crime.
Harper said that in addition to drunken driving, violence can flare up at
after-hours gatherings that involve people who have been drinking at the bars.
...safety advocates are concerned by the new law, which makes Arizona the 38th
state to allow liquor sales after 1 a.m.
...there is little other research now. What has been done was cited by the
Marin Institute, a San Francisco-area group that provides resources to prevent
alcohol problems in communities, as it lobbied against a proposal to extend
drinking hours from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. in the Bay area.
The group cited studies from the past two years
that show there were fewer drunken-driving arrests if Sunday alcohol sales
were banned, as well as a drop in the number of drunken young people crossing
into the United States from Ciudad Juarez after the Mexican border city
changed its closing time to 3 a.m. from 5 a.m.
"There is enough evidence to show that cities which extend last call are
likely to experience more alcohol-related problems," said Amon Rappaport,
communications director for the Marin Institute.

The Occult Roots of AA
(Alcoholic's Anonymous)
Here's a Christian alternative to
Alcoholics Anonymous...
Founded in 1948, Alcoholics
Victorious support groups offer a safe environment where
recovering people who recognize Jesus Christ as their "Higher
Power" gather together and share their experience, strength and
hope. AV meetings use both the
12 Steps and the
Alcoholics Victorious Creed.
There is Hope!
