A new study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research concludes,

"there appears to be no evidence suggesting a causal role of alcohol use in determining the probability of having sex." There was some evidence, however, suggesting that alcohol consumption does "lower the probabilities of using birth control and condoms" among sexually active teens.

Thanks to intrepid economic researchers, any thought of organizing Mothers Against Drunk Sex can now be dropped.
