This retrospective study sought information on blood alcohol level (BAL) and place of last drinkfora random sample of 527 individuals, all of whom were second-or third-time offendersfor driving under the influence (D UI) of alcohol. Findings showed that, overall, women had higher blood alcohol levels than did their male counterparts. Gender and ethnic group differences were also found in place of last drink Nearly 50% of the non-Hispanic White DUI offenders indicated that they had consumed their last drink at a licensed liquor outlet (e.g., bar). However, Hispanic and members of other ethnic groups were less likely to report consuming their last drink at a bar, preferring instead to drink at home or at the house of afriend. Thefindings from this retrospective study support the notion that the social ecology of drinking for men and women and for members of different ethnic groups needs to be better understood if more effective prevention and intervention strategies are to be implemented.
