Respondents were asked whether they had consumed a certain amount of alcoholic beverages (an intake of four or more doses of alcoholic drinks for women, and five or more doses for men) on a single occasion during the last 30 days. The share of men who claimed to have drunk such amount of alcoholic beverages on a single occasion in the previous month in Brazil amounted to 25.3 percent in 2019. This figure was higher than the share of women who claimed to have drunk such amount of alcoholic beverages, which reached only 13.3 percent that same year.
