alcohol-related variables were in the positive direction, indicating that the need for a greater number of drinks for effects (a lower LR per drink) was related to higher alcohol intake, problems, and rates of AUDs. At T15, the SRE5 correlations to alcohol variables ranged from .15 (p=.06) to .24; at T20 and T25 correlations ranged from .10 to .24; and T30 values were between .29 and .35. For the SRET the cross-sectional relationships with adverse alcohol characteristics ranged from .29 to .53. The data at the bottom of the table report the correlations of the two SRE values at each time point with the alcohol challenge LR results from ~age 20. Despite the passage of 15 to 30 years, all correlations for SRE5 and SRET with the original alcohol challenge were in the predicted negative direction (a need for more drinks for effects on the SRE reflects a lower response at a set BAC on alcohol challenges). For SRE5 these ranged from −.08 to −.22, while for SRET values were between −.19 and −.32. While not shown in Table 1, the SRE scores did not correlate significantly with a subject’s endorsement of tolerance. The data were re-evaluated after excluding individuals
