LabelWhether has felt that ought to cut down on drinking
Question text Now some questions about drinking alcohol. These questions are for drinkers and non-drinkers. It may seem strange to include non-drinkers, but these questions relate either to the last year or to your whole life, and it is quite possible that people who don't currently drink were drinkers in the past, perhaps even within the last year. People have very different views about how much is enough or too much to drink. Have you ever felt that you ought to cut down on your drinking?
