alc_sevenday_adult: Alcohol consumption in last seven-days (adults)

In dosgillespie/hseclean: Health Survey Data Wrangling

Description

Processes the information from the questions on drinking in the last seven days - how many times drank and characteristics of the heaviest drinking day.

Usage

alc_sevenday_adult(
  data,
  abv_data = hseclean::abv_data,
  alc_volume_data = hseclean::alc_volume_data
)

Arguments

data	Data table - the health survey dataset
abv_data	Data table - our assumptions on the alcohol content of different beverages in (percent units / ml)
alc_volume_data	Data table - our assumptions on the volume of different drinks (ml).

Details

We estimate the number of UK standard units of alcohol drunk on the heaviest drinking day by using the data on how many of what size measures of different beverages were drunk, and combining this with our standard assumptions about beverage volume and alcohol content.

In 2007 new questions were added asking which glass size was used when wine was consumed. Therefore the post HSE 2007 unit calculations are not directly comparable to previous years’ data.

Value

• n_days_drink - number of days drank in last 7.

• peakday - total units on heaviest drinking day

• d7nbeer_units

• d7sbeer_units

• d7sherry_units
