Price of beer to increase by 10 percent, Macroeconomics

A recent article estimated that the elasticity of the rate of gonorrhea with respect to the price of beer is about 0.8. If this estimate is correct, are unprotected sex and beer substitutes or complements? Suppose policy makers implement a tax that causes the price of beer to increase by 10 percent. What would happen to the incidence of gonorrhea, other things being the same?
