TL;DR: There is little or no relationship between the minimum legal drinking age and the health of infants born to young mothers, and it is found that MLDA policies are associated with the sex ratio at birth.
Abstract: Previous research documents a substantive, positive, correlation between the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) and birth outcomes. Using an improved empirical framework, we reach a different conclusion: there is little or no relationship between the minimum legal drinking age and the health of infants born to young mothers. We do, however, find that MLDA policies are associated with the sex ratio at birth. Our estimates suggest that raising the MLDA may reduce fetal losses.
