Abstract

A time-series analysis of suicide and homicide rates in Australia from 1966 to 1985 revealed that suicide rates were lower and homicide rates higher in years when more alcohol was consumed per capita. The association of alcohol consumption with homicide was expected, but the association with suicide was opposite to that predicted.
