Table 1 presents the results of evaluations of how the SRE5 and SRET values at each time point correlated with the prior five-year drinking parameters and with the T1 alcohol challenges for the subjects in the upper and lower thirds on SRE values. The number of subjects in these groups varied between 158 and 159 across epochs as a reflection of the SRE cut points for upper and lower thirds on SRE scores at each timeframe. Regarding the subjects in the middle third of the SRE values who were not included in these analyses, their SRE5 and SRET scores were similar to the average across the combined upper and lower thirds of subjects in Table 1. The excluded subjects were not significantly different from the remaining men on demography, substance use, or family histories. All the correlations for SREs with 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
