Evaluated stability in absolute alcohol intake and relative drinking positions.
Majority of respondents maintained their relative drinking position over time, despite variability in absolute intake.
Only a minority reduced their alcohol consumption; many showed increases.
Findings indicate a substantial stability in alcohol use patterns over time, particularly among high consumers.
