    Alcohol Clinical and Experimental Research

    Using data from the Monitoring the Future study, which enrolled cohorts of high school seniors annually starting in 1976, this analysis evaluated alcohol drinking patterns in adults 35-60 and potential association with their drinking patterns at age 18. Overall, the reported mean number of drinks at a time ranged from 1.7 to 1.4, and the mean maximum number of drinks ranged from 3.2 to 2.3. The reported number of drinks was generally lower at older ages. Those who reported binge drinking at 18 versus those who did not report a significantly higher mean (2.3 vs. 1.3) and maximum (4.0 vs. 2.3) number of drinks as adults. Additionally, they were more likely to report binge drinking (39.5% vs 19.1%) and high-intensity drinking (10.5% vs 4.4%) as adults. Further, this association was even stronger in older age groups, suggesting adolescent binge drinking is a risk factor across the lifespan.
