The phrase "occasion of drinking" is correct and can be used in written English.
It is often used to refer to an event or gathering where alcoholic beverages will be served, for example: The birthday party is an occasion of drinking for the adults.
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).
This study provides evidence that alcohol drinking patterns were associated with increased risks of self-reported ARH and that drinks per occasion especially binge or "risky" drinking was strongly predictive of ARH than other categories of drinks per occasion or frequency of drinking.
Third, binge or "risky" drinking was strongly predictive of ARH than other categories of drinks per occasion or frequency of drinking.
This finding provides added support for our earlier finding that binge or "risky" drinking was strongly predictive of ARH than other categories of drinks per occasion or frequency of drinking.
(Additional File 2) There is no general consensus on the exact limits of moderate consumption or binge drinking and various cut off points as grams of alcohol [ 17] or qualitatative characteristics of drinking occasions [ 18] have been suggested.
Binge drinking was defined as self-report of drinking five or more drinks on one occasion for men, and four or more drinks on one occasion for women [ 31].
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.
They also indicated the frequency of drinking five or more standard drinks on a single occasion (≥50 g ethanol).
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.
