Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method

This question is assessed through the question: Think back over the last 3 months and try to recall the single occasion during this time period that you had the most drinks (i.e. your biggest drinking session in the past three months). <br><br>This question has been previously used as a measure of peak single occasion consumption (see: Dietze, P. M., Livingston, M., Callinan, S., & Room, R. (2014). The big night out: What happens on the most recent heavy drinking occasion among young Victorian risky drinkers?.
