Alcohol Assessment. The number of drinks per week of beer, wine/champagne, and cocktails/liquor was assessed for three time periods: age 18 – 22 years, age 30 – 35 years, and the previous year. Response categories for usual frequency of consumption were none, V3/ week, 4 – 10/week, 11 – 17/week, 18 – 24/week, and 25 or more per week. A drink was defined as: one bottle, can, or glass of beer; one glass of wine, champagne, or a wine cooler; or one cocktail, shot, or mixed drink of liquor. Grams of alcohol per drink were assigned as 13.2 for beer, 11.1 for wine, and 15.0 for liquor. Daily intake of grams of alcohol was calculated for each woman during each time period. For each beverage during each time period, we also assessed the number of days per week in which the respondent usually had at least one drink. We classified women as ‘‘sporadic’’ drinkers if they con-sumed alcohol on 4 or less days per week and ‘‘daily’’ drinkers if they consumed alcohol on 5 or more days per week. Average daily alcohol consumption for drinking pattern analyses continued to be based on a weekly calculation but expressed as grams per day, that is, grams of alcohol consumed per week was divided by seven (regardless of the number of days per week a woman reported drinking on).
