Alcohol Epidemiologic Data Reference Manuals are statistical compendiums of alcohol-related data useful to researchers and others interested in alcohol problems. The six most recent manuals include alcohol use and alcohol use disorders in the United States, State trends in drinking behaviors, drinking in the United States, State trends in apparent per capita alcohol consumption, State trends in alcohol-related mortality, and county-level estimates of alcohol-related mortality. Manual volumes 3, 5, 6 and 8 are available in PDF format and machine-readable data files are available for volumes 1, 3 and 5 from the links below on this page. Electronic files for other volumes can be requested from the Alcohol Epidemiologic Data System (AEDSinfor@csrincorporated.com)
The manuals can be ordered by either writing to NIAAA or ordering online.
All data from this manual can be found in one file: pcyr1970-2005.txt
State Trends in Drinking Behaviors, 1984-2001. U.S. Alcohol Epidemiologic Data Reference Manual, Volume 7, First Edition, June 2003, NIH Publication No. 02-5213.
This manual presents State prevalence estimates using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) for drinking status and drinking level (non-drinker, and light, moderate, and heavier drinker based on alcohol use in the past month); 5+ drinks (having 5 or more drinks on a single occasion 1 or more times in the past month); and drinking and driving (operating a motor vehicle after having too much to drink 1 or more times in the past month). The prevalence estimates are presented by State and year according to sex, age, race, Hispanic origin, education, marital status and employment status. Standard errors are provided to help users compare and test for statistically significant differences between estimates over time or across States.
This manual includes detailed data on current drinkers from the 1992 NLAES. Percent distribution tables on 20 drinking variables, e.g., drinking status in the last year, DSM-IV alcohol disorders, age of starting to drink, family history of alcoholism, specific alcoholic beverage preference, drinking after driving, and alcohol treatment, are presented according to selected respondent characteristics. These include sex, age, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, education, currently employed full-time, personal annual income, current/most recent occupation, current/most recent industry, ever raised children and children under 14 living in household. To facilitate inter-group comparisons, standard errors for the percent distributions are provided for all estimates.

State Trends in Alcohol-Related Mortality, 1979-92. U.S. Alcohol Epidemiologic Data Reference Manual, Volume 5, First Edition, September 1996, NIH Publication No. 96-4174.
This manual presents trends in alcohol-related mortality from 1979 through 1992. State tables for each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia present the number of alcohol-related deaths and unadjusted and age-adjusted death rates per 100,000 population for three major categories of alcohol-related mortality. These major categories include causes of death with explicit mention of alcohol, other alcohol-related diseases, and other alcohol-related injuries or adverse effects. The State data tables also include the number of deaths and death rates for all chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Table 2 provides further detail for specific alcohol-related causes of death, including all cirrhosis, alcoholic liver cirrhosis, specified liver cirrhosis without mention of alcohol, unspecified liver cirrhosis without mention of alcohol, non-dependent abuse of alcohol, alcohol dependence syndrome, accidental poisoning by alcohol, and alcoholic psychosis.

This manual presents State-level and county-level unadjusted and age-adjusted alcohol related death rates per 100,000 population for the five-year period from 1986 through 1990. Also included are population estimates that can be used for calculating actual number of deaths for each State and county. Major categories include: causes of death with explicit mention of alcohol; other alcohol-related diseases; other alcohol-related injuries or adverse effects; and all alcohol-related deaths. For each category of cause of death there are also ranks for States and ranks for counties within each State.
