low_drink_short_fun | R Documentation |
This function creates a categorical variable that flags for increased short term health risks due to their drinking habits, according to Canada's Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guideline.

The classification of drinkers according to their short term health risks comes from guidelines in Alcohol and Health in Canada: A Summary of Evidence and Guidelines for Low-risk Drinking, and is based on the alcohol consumption reported over the past week. Short-term or acute risks include injury and overdose.
Categories are based on CCHS 2015-2016's variable (ALWDVSTR) where short term health risk are increased when drinking more than 3 drinks (for women) or 4 drinks (for men) on any single occasion.
See https://osf.io/ykau5/ for more details on the guideline. See https://osf.io/ycxaq/ for more details on derivation of the function on page 9.
Categorical variable (ALWDVSTR_der) with two categories:
1 - Increased short term health risk
2 - No increased short term health risk
