Description

For sample adults who drank in the past 30 days or refused to say or don't know if they drank in the past 30 days (ALCEV30D), ALC5UPOCC30D reports the number of occasions, in the past 30 days, where they had five or more alcoholic beverages in a row (for men) or four or more alcoholic beverages in a row (for women). If necessary, interviewers read the additional clarification out loud, "A drinking occasion is considered to be approximately two hours."

Beginning in 2020, ALC5UPOCC30D is collected as part of the rotating core of NHIS alcohol use questions, fielded every other year. For more information about the NHIS alcohol use rotating core, please see ALCDRINKEV.
