The Centers for Disease Control (CDC') and Prevention study, released Thursday, compared changes in gonor rhea rates to changes in alcohol policy in all states from 1981 to 1995.

The CDC analyzed the drops in gon orrhea rates following different tax in creases and came up with the estimate that 20-cent increase per six-pack w ould lead to a 9 percent drop in gonorrhea rates.
