“Next, I'm going to ask you some questions about sex. Please remember that your answers
will be kept confidential and that you don’t have to answer any questions that you don’t
want to. I’ll ask you about the number of people you had sex with during the past 12
months. When I say “sex,” I mean vaginal or anal sex. Vaginal sex means penis in the
vagina and anal sex means penis in the anus. When thinking about your answers, please
include anyone whom you had vaginal or anal sex with during the past 12 months, but
don’t include people you only had oral sex with. The number of people could range
anywhere from 0 to over a hundred.”

BINGE_8 (# binge drink days past 30 days) must be <= 30 and <= DRINK_9 (number of days
drank past 30 days).
If BINGE_8 (# binge drink days past 30 days) > DRINK_9 (number of days drank in past 30
