Description

For sample persons ages 18 and older who have had twelve drinks in any year of their life, ALCMOSTNO reports the number for the length of the time period during which the person drank the most in his or her life. ALCMOSTNO should be paired with ALCMOSTTP, which reports the time period associated with the number for the length of time when he or she drank the most.

Analysts may wish to combine these variables with related variables MOSTFREQNO, which reports the number for the frequency with which the person drank the most, MOSTFREQTP, which reports the time unit for the frequency with which the person drank the most, and ALCEVAMT, which reports the average number of drinks consumed on days when the person drank during that time period.
