in NLAES, 1.64% in NESARC). However, lifetime rates of these items appear to increase between NLAES and NESARC (3.92% in NLAES, 10.11% in NESARC). Third, the NESARC hazardous use criterion includes an additional item that is ostensibly related to drinking and driving (i.e., “More than once drive a car or other vehicle while you were drinking”). Notably, this item’s prevalence is higher than any other hazardous use item in both NESARC and NLAES (see Table 4). Fourth, it does not appear that a substantial increase in other forms of hazardous use or changes in the overlap of dependence with hazardous use account for the finding of decreased rates of drinking and driving in the presence of increased rates of hazardous use from 1992 to 2002.
