626. If we refer to users aged 15 to 64 years, it would seem most relevant to follow the trend of risk consumption, meaning consumption of 50 cc/per day or more (equivalent to 40 g / day) in men and 30 cc / day (equivalent to 24 g / day) in women. The trend of heavy drinking:
(a) Year 2003: 5.3 per cent of this population
(b) Year 2005: 5.5 per cent;
(c) Year 2007 / 8: 3.4 per cent.
