+Subjects were assessed over time with different measures in two groups; A1-7 and A18-26. Drinking quantity was asked at both time points. with the variable CIG3
+**Questions**
+A1-A7:
+  * Question DAYPERMO: Days per month drinking in last 6 months
+  * Question DRINKDAY: Drinks per day in last 6 months
+A18-26:
+  * Question DOA1: Days per month drinking in last 6 months

+The distribution of cigarettes per day over test time (Test variable, X axis), which roughly corresponds as 1-7 = 11-17 years, and 18-26 as 18-26 years old (see Descriptives), looked like this (added jitter):
