Alcohol-Related Crime

Alcohol-related crime covers criminal activity that involves the use of alcohol as well as violations of the laws and regulations that govern its sale and use. Some offenses, such as public intoxication and underage drinking, are defined entirely by alcohol, while others, including drunk driving, are simply more likely to occur alongside alcohol consumption. Underage drinking and drunk driving are the most prevalent alcohol-specific offenses in the United States, and alcohol misuse is tied to roughly one-third of all American arrests, making alcohol-related offenses a major share of policing activity in the United States and many other countries.
