The Drinker Inventory of Consequences (DrInC; Miller et al., 1995) was used to assess consequences experienced as a result of drinking in the last 3 months. The DrInC asks respondents to report on a 4-point Likert-type scale (0 = never, 3 = daily) how frequently they have experienced each of 45 drinking consequences, with higher DrInC scores indicating more consequences. For the current study, DrInC scores were divided into three categories: (1) few or no consequences (DrInC score < 10); (2) medium consequences (DrInC score = 10–39); and (3) high consequences (DrInC score ≥ 40). This categorization was based on the distribution of DrInC scores, as well as previous mixture analyses of the DrInC measure (Wu and Witkiewitz, 2008).
