Detailed alcohol involvement history was assessed using the Customary Drinking and Drug Use Record (Brown et al., 1998) interview, administered to teens for lifetime and past 3-month information on alcohol, nicotine, and other drug use, DSM-IV abuse/dependence symptoms (APA, 1994), and hangover/withdrawal experiences. Peak and typical drinking amounts, consumption durations, and body mass index were used to estimate blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) (Fitzgerald, 1995; Widmark, 1922). To differentiate the impact of binge-type drinking versus other alcohol involvement on FA, bivariate analyses were conducted using peak BAC and total withdrawal experiences (indices of binge drinking), as well as years of alcohol use (duration) and total lifetime drinks.
