Among both men and women ages 60+, average volume consumed by current drinkers remained stable between 1997 and 2014 (Table 4). In all age groups, among both men and women, average volume was stable between 1997 and 2014. By birth cohort, among men, average volume decreased in all except the most recent cohort (1946–1954) where it was stable. The decreases were, on average, 2.5%, 1.8%, and 0.7% per year, (AAPC range p=0.03 to p=0.0001), respectively, in the <1925, 1925–1935, and 1936–1945 birth cohorts. Among women, average volume was stable in all birth cohorts. Results for the quantity and frequency components of average volume are available in Tables S1 and S2.
