Rationale for inclusion: Systematic Review of the effectiveness of brief interventions (35 articles including RCTs) at reducing alcohol intake and preventing alcohol-related injuries. The study found a small reduction in alcohol use in low or moderate drinkers, a reduction in the negative consequences of use (such as injury), and a decline in ED repeat visits for adults and children 12 years of age and older.

The study found that those patients who had been arrested for drunk driving were at significant increased risk of eventually dying in an alcohol-related death.
