This measures frequency and quantity of consumption in standard drinks, and frequency of drinking to excess defined as having more than four standard drinks on a single occasion.
Therefore, the primary outcome measure will be the AUDIT-C scale (composite measure of frequency of drinking, typical quantity of drinking on one occasion, and frequency of drinking five of more drinks on one occasion).
Third, binge or "risky" drinking was strongly predictive of ARH than other categories of drinks per occasion or frequency of drinking.
They also indicated the frequency of drinking five or more standard drinks on a single occasion (≥50 g ethanol).
They found obesity to be positively correlated with total drinks consumed but inversely correlated with frequency of drinking.
Drinks per occasion will be more predictive of ARH than frequency of drinking.
The odds ratio (ORs) associated with drinks per occasion were generally higher than those associated with frequency of drinking.
In addition, risk and frequency of binge drinking increased with frequency of drinking.
Own culture competence was not significantly associated with frequency of drinking.
These risk factors were, in general, more important for excessive drinking than for frequency of drinking.
Among the immigrant groups, Iranians reported the highest frequency of drinking, Turks were at a middle level and Pakistanis reported the lowest frequency of drinking both for males and females (see Table 3).
