Gary Maughan, a franchise holder of the popular sports bar and restaurant Famous Sam's, started to notice the drop in liquor sales sometime late last year - right around the time that a set of new drinking-and-driving laws took effect. The crowd that played pool after hours began to shrink, and they have not come back since, Maughan said.
PHOENIX, June 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Always known as a progressive state when it comes to tough laws for drunk drivers, Arizona's newest DUI legislation, signed in to law last month by Governor Jan Brewer, has been criticized for what critics say is a step backwards from the state's precedent-setting penalties for first-time DUI offenders. But both lawmakers and criminal justice professionals throughout the state are saying SB 1200 is a key piece of legislation that will help the state make an important shift in focus: Aggressively addressing the alcohol misuse issues that lead to 70 percent of the country's alcohol-related traffic fatalities. Senator Linda Gray (R), long known as a proponent of tough laws to improve the state's supervision of DUI offenders, sponsored SB 1200, which g...

Arizona's DUI laws are some of the most severe in the country, and Sen. Jim Waring wants to make the laws even more restrictive with the introduction of a bill that would ban motorists from driving under the influence of prescription methadone. Methadone -- a synthetic opioid developed in World War II Germany -- is a common treatment for drug dependence. An oral dosing of methadone stops feelings of withdrawal in addicts and blocks the euphoric effects of heroin and morphine.

Arizona's policymakers are taking a hard, second look at the state's current set of driving-under-the-influence laws, regarded to be the toughest in the nation, to see whether they might have gone too far. The liquor industry argues that the state has overreached by enacting a handful of oppressive DUI laws that have depressed alcohol sales. Consumers who normally would order a drink or two during dinner are abstaining, leaders in the hospitality industry have said, because they fear the heftier punishments for first-time offenders, those with repeated violations and the most intoxicated of drivers.
WASHINGTON -- Technology that prevents a drunken driver from starting a vehicle holds the promise of greatly reducing alcohol- related deaths, the government and auto safety groups said Wednesday. So far, however, the criminal justice system has not widely embraced alcohol ignition interlock devices because of long- standing questions about their cost and effectiveness, experts said at a meeting led by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- When "Laura's Law" was signed by Governor Bev Perdue in June, North Carolina became the 8th state in the last year to pass progressive DUI legislation that is substantially shifting the focus of DUI laws from penalizing cars to required--and enforced--sobriety for the most dangerous drivers on the road. Laura's Law was named for Laura Fortenberry, a North Carolina teenager killed by a drunk driver who had three prior DUIs. Seen as a progressive piece of legislation, Laura's Law represents a shift in North Carolina's policies--from an emphasis on ignition interlocks for first-time drunk drivers to getting the most dangerous offenders--the repeat, Hard Core Drunk Drivers--sober. And getting them sober long enough to impact their alcohol abuse ...
