This paper examines the causal relationship between alcohol use and teenager and young adult sexual behaviors. The data used in this paper are from National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) and National Longitudinal Survey Young Adult Sample (NLSYAS). OLS and TSLS estimates by gender show that there is a positive causal relationship between alcohol use and teenage and young adult sexual behaviors. However, the validity of the TSLS estimates is questionable. This confirms the difficulty in establishing causal relationship between substance use and sexual behaviors. Even though, we cannot definitely rule it out.
