The variable was created from multiple survey questions, specifically R9. and R10.
This variable was created from two survey questions. Men who reported drinking in the past 12 months were asked how many times they had 5 or more drinks in a single day, whereas women who reported drinking in the past 12 months were asked how many times they had 4 or more drinks in a single day. The variable is recoded into two categories for "No binge drinking" and "Binge drinking at least one day in the last year." Unlike the variable "Binge drinking among adults who drink," the universe for this variable includes all adult respondents age 18 and older. This question was not asked in the mail survey.
