Even our government continues to increase various opportunity costs paid by drunk drivers, yet the number of cases of banning drunken driving by the police authority every year does not have significant declining trend as expected. The purpose of this research is based on “A General Theory of Crime” to explore the effect factors of driving after drinking and problem behavior. There are two main purposes:（1）To explore the population characteristics of drunk drivers, category of problem behavior and distribution condition.（2）To explore the effect factors of driving after drinking and problem behavior and the relationship of self-control. For sample selection in this research, purposive selection was adopted only and samples were distinguished as general group and drunken driving group to conduct comparative analysis. Five hundred twenty one persons（521）were selected as samples to conduct self description questionnaire survey research so as to understand the effect factors of drunken driving and problem behavior. After the information was recovered, analysis was conducted through frequency distribution, factor analysis, chi-square test, t test, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, stepwise multiple regression analysis and logistic regression etc. From the research result, it can be found that the correlative factors generated from the problem behavior and drunken driving behavior come from variables including personal basic characteristics, social-control, self-control, livelihood pressure and opportunity etc. The above variables have significant effect and forecast on problem behavior and drunken driving behavior and can all enhance the explanation of the entire model. The way of saying by Gottfredson and Hirschi that the occurrence of crime incident needs to have the cooperation of the two including low self-control person and crime commitment opportunity can all win support on the problem behavior and drunken driving behavior. The research result also proves that the opportunity factor can strengthen and urge the occurrence of problem behavior and drunken driving behavior. According to the research result, there are four suggestions in this research : （1）Family and school are the two socialized units that have the most decisive affect on the individual self-control strength. How to build up a good family and school environment so as to shape the individual to develop good self-control ability in the course of socialization will be the key factor.（2）Reduce or intervene「crime commitment opportunity」so as to effectively reduce the drunken driving case and formulate the（server intervention program）with reference to laws stipulated by overseas countries and grant liquor supply person with responsibility so as to reduce the drunken driving case.（3）The entertainment leisure factor in the opportunity variables have significant positive correlation to the problem behavior and occurrence of drunken driving and have considerable effect and forecast capability. Therefore, it is necessary to change the personal enjoyment requirement to leisure activity that is beneficial to the mind and body. Also, by making use of the opportunity of proper leisure and entertainment, one can learn more living standard, value judgment and social standard abidance, help individual re-socialization and can achieve the purpose of using teaching in entertainment.（4）Enhance the publicity on the legal responsibility of driving after drinking and emphasize on the legal accomplishment of knowing about the law and abide by the law and enable the behavioral person to understand the serious consequence of drunken driving and relevant legal responsibility. Beseech the behavioral person that it is necessary to think thrice before acting so as to effectively prevent the occurrence of drunken driving case.
