          Abstract

          Utilizando una base de datos para las áreas metropolitanas de León, Guanajuato y Monterrey, que captura hábitos personales y datos sociodemográficos, así como el número de veces que el entrevistado fue víctima de un delito, encontramos que existen correlaciones inversas entre estar casado y asistir a servicios religiosos con la probabilidad de sufrir delitos, como el asalto a transeúntes. Así mismo, nuestras estimaciones indican que es más probable que una persona casada o religiosa sufra un intento de robo a su vehículo. Una implicación política de este ejercicio es que tomar alcohol no sólo es nocivo para la salud, sino también para la seguridad personal.

          Translated abstract

          We use a database for the metropolitan areas of León, Guanajuato, and Monterrey containing personal habits, sociodemografic characteristics, and the number of times the interviewee was a victim of a crime. We find inverse correlations between being married or attending religious services, and the probability of being a victim of particular offenses such as muggings. Our estimations also indicate that it is more probable that married or religious people suffer attempted car robbery. One implication from this exercise is that drinking alcohol is not just bad for one's health; it is also bad for one's personal safety.

              The Effect of Alcohol Consumption on Mortality: Regression Discontinuity Evidence from the Minimum Drinking Age

              We estimate the effect of alcohol consumption on mortality using the minimum drinking age in a regression discontinuity design. We find large and immediate increases in drinking at age 21, including a 21 percent increase in recent drinking days. We also find a discrete 9 percent increase in the mortality rate at age 21, primarily due to motor vehicle accidents, alcohol-related deaths, and suicides. We estimate a 10 percent increase in the number of drinking days for young adults results in a 4.3 percent increase in mortality. Our results suggest policies that reduce drinking among young adults can have substantial public health benefits. (JEL I12, I18)
