CDC's Loftier-Impact in 5 years External Web Site Icon initiative recommends increasing the unit price of alcohol based on evidence the strategy reduces excessive alcohol consumption and related harms within five years and has economic value.

The following outlines the search strategy used for these reviews of interventions to prevent excessive alcohol consumption: Dram Store Liability; Increasing Booze Taxes; Maintaining Limits on Days of Sale; Maintaining Limits on Hours of Sale; Overservice Law Enforcement Initiatives; Regulation of Booze Outlet Density; Enhanced Enforcement of Laws Prohibiting Sales to Minors.

The post-obit databases were searched from their inception up to October 2007 to place studies assessing the impact of changes for all interventions included in the Community Guide serial of alcohol reviews: Econlit, PsycInfo, Sociology Abstracts, Medline, Embase, and EtOH (not bachelor after 2003). The search yielded 6442 articles, books, and conference abstracts, of which 5645 were unique.
