针对未成年人的社交接待法旨在通过对举办聚会的成年人施加责任来减少青少年的饮酒量。家长们将安全原因作为举办聚会动机的一部分，他们更希望孩子和孩子的朋友在有人监督且安全的地方喝酒。双方都预测未成年人的社交主人责任会对未成年饮酒者的酒精相关交通事故率产生影响：然而，这种影响是相反的。研究发现，在18-20岁人群中，未成年人的社交主人责任使酒后驾车死亡率降低了9%。我发现对清醒交通死亡没有影响。关于酒后和醉酒驾驶的调查数据表明，下降的主要原因是醉酒驾驶的减少，而不是饮酒的减少。 (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Social host laws for minors aim to reduce teenage alcohol consumption by imposing liability on adults who host parties. Parents cite safety reasons as part of their motivation for hosting parties, preferring their teens and their teens' friends to drink in a supervised and safe locale. Both sides predict an effect of social host liability for minors on alcohol-related traffic accident rates for under-aged drinkers: the effects, however, work in opposite directions. This paper finds that, among 18-20 year olds, social host liability for minors reduced the drunk-driving fatality rate by 9%. I find no effect on sober traffic fatalities. Survey data on drinking and drunk driving suggest the declines resulted mostly from reductions in drunk driving and not reductions in drinking. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
