12 Politics (f1 Policy Vol.32 No.4 damp counties, and property damage accidents-F = 3.009 and p = .056 with fewer accidents in dry than wet or damp counties. Finally, the differences in means among wet, damp, and dry counties are not significant in either accidents where injuries occur, F = .517 and p = ns, or total accidents, F = 1.659 and p = ns.

Specifically, we expect that in addition to the policy variables of alcohol availability and enforcement capability, variables concerning a county's geography and demography will have an effect on drunk driving arrests and motor vehicle accidents. When considering the policy variables, we fmd, as was the case with arrest rates, that alcohol policy tends not to have a significant effect on either drunk driving arrests or automobile accidents, with the exception ofproperty damage crashes, in which case slightly more accidents occurred in wet than dry counties, and accident fatalities, where residents of damp counties are less likely to suffer a fatal accident than those living in a dry county. The failure ofthese variables systematically to account for drunk driving arrests and accidents suggests that prohibition ofalcohol sales within a county does
