This paper describes longitudinalchanges and secular trends with respect to women's alcohol habits.An alcohol frequency questionnaire was validated at baselineand was re-administered at all examinations. Between 19681969and 19801981, the proportion of alcohol abstainers decreasedsignificantly both in 38-year-old and 50-year-old women.
