Using simulation modelling to examine the impact of venue lockout and last-drink policies on drinking-related harms and costs to licensees.

CONCLUSION: Simulation models are useful for exploring consequences of policy change. Our simulation suggests that additional hours between lockout and last drinks could reduce aggression by easing transport demand, while minimising revenue loss to venue owners. Implications for public health: Direct policies to reduce late-night transport-related disputes should be considered. PMID: 28245536 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
