title: [Offenses related to alcohol consumption in Mexico (1964-1984)].
abstract: Existing data series related to sentences pronounced upon offenders in Mexican courts of law are presented in this paper: Offenses committed were either of a misdemeanour nature, or of a federal criminal nature. In both types of offenses, magistrates discovered that offenders had been under the influence of alcohol when committing the misdemeanour or crime involved. Regression and correlation analysis were carried out upon such data series, and other variables of an economic nature as well. Results show that there exists an almost perfect correlation (.90, .96, .97) between both factors.
