title: Introducing beer sales at a Canadian ball park: the effect on motor vehicle accidents.
abstract: The impact of introducing the legal sale of beer in a Toronto stadium on drinking-driving accidents is investigated. The results suggest that a greater proportion of accidents in the postgame time are alcohol-related when compared to pregame times and to control times. No significant effect was found, however, for the introduction of legal beer sales, suggesting that drinking was common before the public sales policy.
