Description: This study focuses on the drinking and driving habits of Americans. The universe for the study was adults 16 years of age and older who possessed a valid driver's license. The first 1000 cases were drawn using a national probability sample of the 48 contiguous states, while the final 400 cases were selected from oversampling in 20 states. Conditions were imposed to yield approximately 50 percent males and 50 percent females resulting in 1401 cases in all. Respondents were interviewed over the telephone using random digit dialing. The questionnaire contains 51 questions. Respondents are asked about their frequency of consumption of alcoholic beverages, where they most often drink and their mode of transportation to and from this location, their driving and drinking experiences, and their age, sex, educational attainment, and socioeconomic status.
