Description

For adults aged 20+, HASLIQUOR reports whether the respondent drinks liquor. Response options included "never", "occasionally", "once or twice a week", and "three or more times a week".

The question for HASLIQUOR was asked for a sub-sample of randomly selected persons age 20 and over; NHIS automatically classifies persons who were selected but did not complete the questions as unknown for this variable. Users may choose to use this variable in combination with SUBSRESP77, which reports the person's sub-sample status in 1977.
