According to a current report from the U.S. Task Force on Community Preventive Services, there is little evidence that designated programs actually reduce the rate of drunk driving and alcohol-related crashes, as few designated drivers actually completely abstain from drinking. The report concluded that in a great many instances, the least-intoxicated person is chosen to be the driver, which defeats the purpose of the program.
Studies have found that greater densities of stores selling alcohol are found in segregated minority neighborhoods.
A study published by Harvard University found that the risk of death from all causes to be 21% to 28% lower among men who were moderate drinkers, compared to men who abstained from drinking.
