supported an earlier survival analysis of major life transitions (Dawson et al., 2006b), albeit at more marginal level of statistical significance for initiation of marriage (p=.051), and its finding of a highly significant negative association between volume of consumption and NR replicated earlier cross-sectional findings (Dawson et al., 2005). These consistent findings, obtained despite a smaller sample size and shorter observation period, highlight correlates of AR and NR that are sufficiently robust to replicate under divergent study designs, analytic models, sample restrictions and lengths of follow-up.
