Data from the Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico System (VIGITEL – Surveillance System of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Interview) were analyzed. In 2008, 1.5% of individuals interviewed reported having driven a motor vehicle after binge drinking in at least one occasion. The frequency of adults who drove after binge drinking remained between 1.8% and 2.2% in the eight months preceding the Law, decreased in the month following its establishment, and increased again two months later, reaching a maximum of 2.6% by the end of 2008 and returning to the initial levels in the fi rst months of 2009.porAcesso AbertoLevantamentos epidemiológicosConsumo de bebidas alcoólicasLegislação e jurisprudênciaCondução de veículoAcidentes de trânsitoPrevenção e controleFatores de riscoDoença crônicaArtigo10.1590/S0034-89102009005000062
