Binge drinking (among current drinkers): five or more drinks in a single day in the past year.
Current drinking: 12 or more drinks in any 1 year or in their lifetime and had consumed one or more drinks in the past year.
Years = range of years covered by trend and {%} = prevalence (or percentage) corresponding to the initial and last years covered by the trend.
AAPC is presented for overall trends that include all joinpoint segments. APC is presented for single segments calculated by joinpoint. When there are no joinpoints, AAPC=APC.
