N2  - Laws and regulations governing alcohol availability need to be an essential part of an overall strategy to reduce alcohol-related morbidity and mortality. The removal of availability restrictions, pricing and taxation of alcoholic beverages, and its impact on alcohol-impaired driving related problems were the focus of this study, with particular reference to the Japanese society. Obviously the implementation of the deregulation policy has not increased drunk driving as hypothesized. The finding showed that compliance with alcohol-related driving legislations is high in the Japanese society, where alcohol is freely available.<p />
