Content Inside:
This paper uses state-level data on cirrhosis death rates to examine the impact of
state prohibitions, pre-1920 federal anti-alcohol policies, and constitutional prohibition
on cirrhosis. State prohibitions had a minimal impact on cirrhosis, especially during the
pre-1920 period. Pre-1920 federal anti-alcohol policies may have contributed to the
decline in cirrhosis that occurred before 1920, although other factors were likely
substantial influences as well. Constitutional prohibition reduced cirrhosis by about 10-20
percent.
