Interviewer instructions

Make sure that the respondent understands what we mean by one drink of alcohol. Otherwise, we may be capturing those cases when the respondent may have taken just a few sips very early on, which we do not want to. We are looking for the consumption of at least one drink, as described in the question.

Write the age of the respondent at the time when she had her first drink. If the respondent says she has never had one drink of alcohol, then circle '00' and skip to the next module.

Note that a respondent who has had a few sips but never one full drink may respond with 'Yes' in TA14, but may respond with 'Never had one drink of alcohol' in this question. This is possible.
