Note 1.

An episode of excessive drinking refers to drinking four or more (females) or five or more (males) alcoholic beverages on a single occasion. The category “at least one episode per month” in this chart is equivalent to the concept of heavy drinking, which refers to females who reported having four or more drinks and males who reported having five or more drinks on one occasion at least once a month in the previous year.
