dc.description.abstract	We use time-series and cross-section variation in adoption of dry laws in the São Paulo Metropolitan Area (SPMA) to measure the impact of recreational consumption of alcohol on violent behavior. Adoption of dry laws causes a 10% reduction in homicides. As auxiliary evidence, we show a similar reduction in battery and deaths by car accidents.	eng
