Abstract
Using five-wave Japanese panel data (2019-23; N = 14 271), we identified four drinking-frequency classes: abstinent/very infrequent, monthly, weekly, and almost daily. Adjusted multinomial logistic regression models showed extraversion predicted higher-frequency membership, whereas conscientiousness reduced intermediate-frequency odds. An agreeableness × conscientiousness term suggested possible moderation. Results add to evidence on personality-drinking associations in the Japanese general population.

About the Journal
Alcohol and Alcoholism publishes papers on the biomedical, psychological, and sociological aspects of alcoholism and alcohol research, provided that they make a new and significant contribution to knowledge in the field.
Papers include new results obtained experimentally, descriptions of new experimental (including clinical) methods of importance to the field of alcohol research and treatment, or new interpretations of existing results.
Theoretical contributions are considered equally with papers dealing with experimental work provided that such theoretical contributions are not of a largely speculative or philosophical nature.
