在一项代表纽约州成年人饮酒人群的调查中，比较了基于特定饮料和全球数量-频率(QF)问题的酒精消费量估计值(每天无水酒精盎司，AA)。饮料特定的AA估计高于全球(0.72，95%可信区间=0.68，0.76)，高于0.49(95%可信区间=0.47，0.51)，尽管估计高度相关(r=0.75)。随着饮料的数量和饮酒量的增加，具体饮料和全球AA估计之间的差异也会增加。在对饮酒量进行调整后，社会人口学特征与饮料特定和全球AA估计之间的差异没有显著相关；然而，饮酒模式确实影响了差异。结论是，饮料特定的QF问题可能比全球QF问题更有效地衡量酒精消费，但全球问题提供了有用的信息。在第一次美国健康和营养检查调查中，对不同的全球QF问题进行了平行分析，得到了类似的结果。
Estimates of alcohol consumption (ounces of absolute alcohol per day, AA) based on beverage-specific and global quantity-frequency (QF) questions were compared in a survey representative of the adult drinking population in New York State. Beverage-specific AA estimates were higher than global (0.72, 95% confidence intervals = 0.68, 0.76) compared to 0.49 (95% confidence intervals = 0.47, 0.51), although estimates were highly correlated (r = 0.75). Discrepancies between beverage specific and global AA estimates increased as the number of beverages and the amount drunk increased. Sociodemographic characteristics were not significantly related to differences between beverage-specific and global AA estimates after adjusting for the amount drunk; however, drinking patterns did influence the differences. It was concluded that beverage-specific QF questions are probably more valid measures of alcohol consumption than global QF questions, but that the global questions provide useful information. Parallel analyses of variant global QF questions employed in the first US Health and Nutrition Examination Survey obtained similar results.
