Baseline drinking measures were only collected in Study 1, but not in Study 2. Participants reported their habitual beer, wine, and spirits consumption per week in the month prior to the intervention using the Alcohol Use Questionnaire (AUQ)81. To create the baseline drinking measures, we averaged the number of drinks and number of drinking occasions across beer, wine, and spirits.
