Samenvatting
Little is known of the occasional driver who drinks away from home. This study uses a factorial survey design to gather individual-level data to examine situational dimensions that influence 95 college students' resposnes to opportunities to drink and drive. Implications from the study are that the level of alcohol impairment, distance to be driven, weather conditions, time of day and existence of driving alternatives have significant efffects on students' intentions to drink and drive. Other significant variables include the number of police roadblocks, familiarity with roads, the ways in which incidents of drunken driving are reported in the community and the numberof passengers depending on the driver for transportation.
