为了解决研究同伴酒精消费效应的实证困难，我使用工具变量/固定效应方法来比较同一学校不同年级的学生，他们面临不同的同学决策。在这种背景下，我建议可以利用同学家里的酒精供应情况和同学父母的酗酒情况作为工具。结果表明，同学中饮酒的比例每增加 10%，个人饮酒的可能性就会增加 5 个百分点。本文还提供了酗酒和醉酒等问题饮酒中同伴效应的证据。
In order to address empirical difficulties in research examining peer effects in alcohol consumption, I use instrumental variables/fixed effects methodology that compares students in different grades within the same school who face a different set of classmate decisions. Within this context, I suggest that alcohol availability in classmates' homes and classmates' parents' alcohol abuse can be used as instruments. Results indicate that a 10% increase in the proportion of classmates who drink increases the likelihood an individual drinks by five percentage points. This paper also provides evidence of peer effects in problem drinking, such as binge drinking and drunkenness.
