Text

Participants reported the number of drinks of different kinds of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, liquor, other) they consumed on a typical day (Monday, Tuesday, … Sunday) of the week in the past 6 months, as part of the SSAGA at T2 (Bucholz et al., 1994). Scores were summed across days and kinds of drinks to derive a composite score that indicated drinks per week. A total of 769 (27.1%) participants indicated that they consumed no alcohol (zero drinks) during the past 6 months.
