This article reports on Cook and Moore's study of the effect of alcohol on high school students' rate of graduation and college matriculation. Using NLSY79 data, the researchers concluded that drinking did have a negative effect on academic performance, leading them to propose raising the minimum drinking age and taxes on beer sales.
