本文估计了啤酒价格、酒类可获得性以及与酒后驾车相关的政策对青少年饮酒和酗酒的影响。数据来自一项具有全国代表性的对美国高校学生的调查。对未成年男女学生以及年龄较大的男学生和女学生分别进行了估计。估计表明，男大学生的饮酒行为一般对啤酒价格不敏感。然而，未成年饮酒和女学生的狂欢饮酒确实对价格有很大的反应，尽管两者都相对缺乏弹性。结果还显示，针对年轻人和年轻人的严厉酒驾政策显著减少了男学生的饮酒和狂饮。同样，这些政策减少了女大学生的饮酒，但似乎对她们的酗酒几乎没有影响。相反，研究结果表明，校园生活的许多因素(包括参加女生联谊会、住在校园里，以及随时可以买到酒精饮料)是大学生饮酒和酗酒的最重要决定因素。
This paper estimates the effects of beer prices, alcohol availability, adn policies related to driving under the influence of alcohol on drinking and binge drinking among youths and young adults. Data are from a nationally representative survey of students in U.S. colleges and universities. Separate estimates are obtained fro underage male and female students, as well as for older male and female students. The estimates indicate that the drinking practices of male college students are generally insensitive to the price of beer. However, underage drinking and binge drinking by female students do respond significantly to price, although both are relatively inelastic. The results also show that strong drunk driving policies targeting youths and young adults significantly reduce drinking and binge drinking by male students. Similarly, these policies reduce drinking among female college students but appear to have little impact on their binge drinking. Instead, the results indicate that many elements of campus life (including participation in a fraternity of sorority, living on campus, and the ready availability of alcoholic beverages) are among the most important determinants of drinking and binge drinking among college students.
