Description

For sample persons ages 18 and older who have had twelve drinks in any year of their life, MOSTFREQTP reports the time unit for their frequency of drinking during the period of the person's life during which he or she drank the most. MOSTFREQTP should be paired with MOSTFREQNO, which reports the number associated with the time unit for how frequently the person drank when he or she drank the most.

Analysts may wish to combine these variables with related variables ALCMOSTNO, which reports the number for the length of time the person drank the most, ALCMOSTTP, which reports the time unit for the length of time 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.
