The current analytic sample includes 1540 adults (87.0%; mean [SD] age, 56.6 [13.5] years; 825 [53.6%] were in the age range of 30-59 years; and 883 [57.3%] were female) from the baseline survey who, approximately 1 year later, completed the wave 2 survey (Table 1). Frequency of alcohol consumption increased (1) overall, 0.74 days (95% CI, 0.33-1.15 days), representing an increase of 14% over the baseline of 5.48 days in 2019; (2) for women, 0.78 days (95% CI, 0.41-1.15 days), representing an increase of 17% over the 2019 baseline of 4.58 days; (3) for adults age 30 to 59 years, 0.93 days (95% CI, 0.36-1.51 days), an increase of 19%; and (4) for non-Hispanic White individuals, 0.66 days (95% CI, 0.14 to 1.17 days), an increase of 10% over the 2019 baseline of 6.46 days (Table 2). On average, alcohol was consumed 1 day more per month by 3 of 4 adults. For women, there was also a significant increase of 0.18 days of heavy drinking (95% CI, 0.04-0.32 days), from a 2019 baseline of 0.44 days, which represents an
