Behaviors associated with drinking, such as physical or verbal aggression, binge eating, sexual intercourse, unprotected intercourse, driving when drunk, and being a passenger with a driver who has had a lot to drink, were only asked of adolescents who reported ever consuming alcohol on six or more occasions. We created additional variables to reflect engaging in any risky sexual behavior when drinking (“risky sex when drinking”) and any risky behavior when drinking (“Any risk when drinking”). Respondents were asked about their lifetime use of marijuana and cigarettes, including the age of first use.
