Are you going to finish that drink?
Data are from the 2000 National Alcohol Survey Methodological Follow-up, which includes 323 individuals from across the United States. Directly measured estimates of drink volume and amount left unfinished along with self-report of the frequency and reasons for which drinks are not finished and are compared across groups. Overall, 12% of drinks reported in the sample were not finished. Smaller amounts of beer and wine volume were left by men, "heavier drinkers" and older persons. This research was supported by grant P-30-A05595 to the Alcohol Research Group, Public Health Institute from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
