To expand upon the earlier work, the current study presents data on SRE values over a 15-year period, along with information regarding the correlations between SRE scores and recent drinking-related parameters, and future outcomes over time. Based on the prior studies, we hypothesized that: 1) the SRE scores will be relatively stable over time, with only a small decrease in the number of drinks needed for effects with age; 2) as the time increases between filling out the SRE and the actual first five times of drinking and a prior alcohol challenge, the relationship of the SRE to current drinking parameters and the alcohol challenge will diminish; however, 3) the relationship between SRE values and future drinking-related outcomes over the 15 years of follow-up will be robust enough to remain significant for both SRE5 and SRET.
