This study is an Alcohol Cohort 1 repeatability trial. A total of 500 males and 500 females from the Alcohol Cohort 1 study who returned their questionnaires within the first month were sent another "white/green" questionnaire in 1991. Their responses to the two questionnaires could then be compared to check on their consistency. Of the 1000 subjects, there are 161 complete pairs and 678 single twins.

The questionnaire is the same as that for the Alcohol Cohort 1 study:
