Notes: Standard errors, clustered at the state level, are shown in parentheses.

All models include dummy variables for gender, race, age, and grade levels. State-level covariates listed in Table 1 are included.

In columns 1–3, we define youth as current drinker if any days of drinking over the past month are reported.

In columns 4–6, we define youth as current binge drinker if any days of binge drinking (drank 5 or more drinks of alcohol in a row within a couple of hours) over the past month are reported.

The analysis sample is restricted to youth younger than 18.

E-cigarette MLSA Law, the leads, and the lags are defined in the text. One wave means one survey year.
