The Diet diaries collected in 1982, 1989 and 1999 gathered information on the quantities of alcohol consumed.

In addition in 1989 and 1999, outside of the diet diaries, general measures of alcohol drunk in the last 7 days were recorded in terms of spirits, wine and beers. The CAGE questionnaire was also asked in 1989, 1999 and 2006-10 (see Ewing JA; Detecting alcoholism. The CAGE questionnaire. JAMA. 1984 Oct 12;252(14):1905-7).

The Personal State Examination asked in 1982 also contains a question about drinking.
