In regard to binge drinking, in each survey year from 1997 to 2014 men who were current drinkers were asked: “In the past year, on how many days did you have 5 or more drinks of any alcoholic beverage?” Women who were current drinkers were asked the same question through 2013 (the number of drinks was changed to 4 or more starting in 2014). Therefore, data on binge drinking are presented through 2014 for men and through 2013 for women.
