本研究的目的是确定年轻人在场外企业无需年龄识别即可购买酒类的比例，以及影响购买率的因素。三位 21 岁的女性买家在不同场合拜访了明尼苏达州北部 28 个社区的所有获得许可销售蒸馏酒和/或烈酒和烈酒的零售店，她们的年龄似乎在 19 岁或以下。在 336 次购买尝试中，有 47% 的年轻买家能够在没有年龄识别的情况下购买啤酒。近五分之四的企业在三次尝试中至少向这些买家出售过一次啤酒。这些结果提供了明确的证据，表明美国许多商业非销售企业向年轻买家供应酒精，而且不同社区和企业的做法差异很大。这些结果表明需要更多地关注可用性作为青少年饮酒模式的一个因素。
The Purpose of this study was to determine the rate at which young people can purchase alcohol without age identification in off-premises businesses, and the factors which influence the rate of purchase. All retail outlets licensed to sell distilled spirits and/or full strength beer and wine in 28 northern Minnesota communities were visited on different occasions by three 21-year-old female buyers who appeared to be aged 19 or younger. These youthful buyers were able to purchase beer without age identification in 47% of the 336 purchase attempts. Almost four-fifths of the businesses sold beer to these buyers at least once in three attempts. These results provide clear evidence that many commercial off-sale businesses in the US supply alcohol to youthful buyers, and that practices vary significantly by community and by business. These results support the need for greater attention to availability as a factor in teenage drinking patterns.
