本文讨论了当地供应的经济和地理分布如何影响州和社区环境中的酒精问题模式。认为当地供应的特点直接影响消费者购买和使用酒精的经济和社会行为。例如，虽然可以提高税收以减少酒精使用，但税收增加转化为价格上涨的方式，以及消费者通过改变购买模式对价格上涨作出反应的方式，可能会大大减轻价格影响。同样，虽然为了减少饮酒，可能会减少酒精的总体供应量，但更多的销售点集中在低收入地区的趋势以及消费者将酒精购买与其他日常活动（如购物）捆绑在一起的方式也可能大大减轻这种影响。
This paper discusses how economic and geographic distributions of local supply affect patterns of alcohol problems in state and community settings. It is argued that characteristics of local supply directly affect the economic and social behaviors of consumers when purchasing and using alcohol. For example, although taxes may be raised in order to lower alcohol use, the manner in which tax increases are translated into price increases, and the way consumers respond to price increases through alterations in purchase patterns, may strongly mitigate price effects. Similarly, although overall alcohol availability may be reduced in order to lower alcohol use, the tendency for greater numbers of outlets to be focused in low-income areas and the manner in which consumers bundle alcohol purchases with other routine activities (e.g. shopping) may also strongly mitigate such effects.
