Note 1
The higher imputation rate for 2017 compared to 2015 is mainly due to changes made during the editing stage for this variable. Transaction record receipts from table service, “other” or “not stated” types of restaurants for which the total cost is greater than fifteen dollars are now subject to the possibility of imputing an amount for alcohol following the observed distribution of restaurant items with alcohol reported. A similar correction is made for transcribed items in the restaurant section of the diary when the respondents did not clearly indicate whether the total cost includes alcoholic beverages or not.
