Abstract: Abstract In this paper, I consider data on fatal automobile crashes, DWI arrests, and alcohol addiction admissions in Virginia, USA and use these as a basis for estimating the hourly, weekly, monthly, and annual cycles associated with alcohol consumption. In addition, I use surveys carried out by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control in Virginia to establish geospatial patterns of purchases of distilled spirits. This data analysis allows me to conjecture spatiotemporal patterns that can be incorporated into calibration of a more complex ecological alcohol systems model.
