Description

ALDRINKTYPNO reports how many alcoholic drinks the woman had on a typical day when she drank alcohol recently.

The small number of women reporting an implausibly high number (e.g., 30) may have misunderstood the question as referring to the number of days alcohol was consumed, rather than typical consumption per day.

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, ALDRINKTYPNO is largely comparable across samples.

ALDRINKTYPNO is a country-specific variable, and it is not included in the standard DHS questionnaire in any phase.
