Notes
- 1.
Formerly known as General Household Survey, as in Fig. 11.3.
- 2.
As things have turned out, there is some evidence of a reduction in consumption (perhaps as a consequence of the economic downturn).
- 3.
Obviously, not based on behaviour on the day itself, the legal drinking age in England.
- 4.
Here, 44 types of admission have been collapsed into 10 categories in the model, using arrays.
