Book Reviews COMPARATIVE LAW SOCIAL CONTROL OF THE DRINKING DRIVER, EDITED BY MICHAEL D. LAURENCE , JOHN R. SNORTUM, AND FRANKLIN E. ZIMRING. CHICAGO AND LONDON: THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS, 1988. Pp. xix, Reviewd by Gunther Arzt * This collection of articles is meant to provide "an almost com prehensive statement about drunken driving and its control in the Western World." This introductory statement (p. 15) excludes not only Asia but also the communist countries of Eastern Europe. It is to be hoped that in th e future we will have access to data from com munist countries to judge the success or failure of their 0.0% BAC policy. A critical look at those European countries represented in this collection reveals that there is no contribution from one of the large wine producing countries. The division between the European wine culture as opposed to the beer and schnapps culture is one of th e lines that cut through Germany. The reader in search of the general picture should at least turn to the splendid introduction by Donelson (p. 3, The Alcohol-Crash Problem), to the article on Deterrence by Snortum (p. 189) and to th e Summary by Zimring
