Drinking problems

As described above, both the 1991 sweep of the 1958 cohort study and the 2004
sweep of the 1970 cohort study included the ‘CAGE’ questions to ascertain whether
cohort members had a drinking problem. The survey instruments in 1991 and 2004
both included two sets of four questions which ask about whether the cohort member
has ever had a drinking problem and also whether they have had a drinking problem
in the last year. Table 4, below, summarises the prevalence of reported drinking
problems among men and women in the two different cohorts. It can be seen that
men are more likely to report problem drinking than women and that the 1970 cohort
are more likely to report problem drinking than the 1958 cohort.
