Notes: English Longitudinal Study of Ageing participants in all three waves who are weekly drinkers in at least one wave; N = 1,774. 1. In Models 2–5 the coefficient for wave is for the reference group only for partnership (Model 2), employment (Model 3), health (Model 4) and for all transitions variables (Model 5). Ref.: reference category.

Significance levels: * p < 0.1, ** p < 0.05.
