A limitation of the PRIME-Alcohol model is that it is based on usual average levels of alcohol consumption and is unable to take account of patterns of drinking (eg, binge drinking) or provide any evidence about the least harmful pattern of alcohol consumption.
Their results demonstrated that the bootstrap and permutation tests can control the type I error rate correctly and are more powerful compared to the tests that are based on the usual asymptotic mixture.
Furthermore, we note that the standard errors of the parameters are based on the usual asymptotic considerations and as such reasonably robust e.g. against departures from the underlying assumptions.
Their predictions are based on all of the usual psycho-marketing factors: what's happening in the economy, the arts and technology; and whether we're likely to feel happy about events in the world around us, or petrified by the prospect of natural disasters, geopolitical crises, pandemics and environmental horrors.
