Beginning at T15 (the evaluation for which the SRE had first been developed), at each follow-up subjects filled out this retrospective report to generate SRE5 and SRET scores (Cronbach α >.90, 2-to-12-month reliabilities of .6 to .8; Ray and Hutchison, 2009; Schuckit et al., 1997a, b). They were asked to relate the number of standard drinks required for each of up to 4 effects (first feeling effects, slurring speech, impairing coordination, and passing out) actually experienced during the approximate first five times of drinking, with the average drinks across effects used for SRE5. The SRET score included SRE5 along with scores for the life epoch of heaviest alcohol consumption, and the most recent three months.
