Description
1. Introduction Concerns regarding the relationship between alcohol consumption and labor market productivity are well grounded. If problem drinking or alcoholism is considered a disease, then it may have depressant effects on labor market productivity, causing reductions in employment, earnings, and other labor market outcomes (Mullahy and Sindelar 1993, 1996; Kenkel and Ribar 1994). However, there is a medical literature that documents a U-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and the risk of cardiovascular disease. According to this literature, moderate drinkers have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease than do either abstainers or heavy drinkers (Beagtehole and Jackson 1992; Doll et al. 1994). Consistent with this evidence, several economists have found a positive association between moderate drinking and earnings (Berger and Leigh 1988; French and Zarkin 1995; Heien 1996; Hamilton and Hamilton 1997; Zarkin et al. 1998; MacDonald and Shields 2001).
