Underreporting, more than overreporting, is a problem in studies of the
effects of alcohol consumption using self-reported data. Numerical examples
illustrate that in studies of the effect of alcohol, nondifferential
misclassification of alcohol consumption due to underreporting may lead to
a bias away from the null value. It may also cause a true threshold level
for alcohol to appear as a dose-response relationship. It is shown that the
effect of misclassification on effect estimates will depend on the true
frequency of abstainers in the studied population.
