Analyses include all 94 AUD male probands and all 176 offspring (106 males) who met AUD criteria in the five-years prior to the index interview and these participants were not chosen as proband-offspring pairs. Their SSAGA-like interviews queried their recent five-year quantities, frequencies and problems associated with substances, including all 11 DSM-IV substance-related criterion items. We added a final question to the alcohol section which asked: “Since your prior evaluation (about five-years ago), how would you label your own drinking pattern overall?” The options included: 1) nondrinker/abstainer; 2) infrequent/occasional light social drinker; 3) moderate social drinker; 4) frequent/heavy social drinker; 5) problem drinker/alcoholic; and 6) recovering alcoholic.
