Is Alcohol consumption in units discrete or continuous? Hi I’m really struggling to decide whether or not alcohol consumption in units is discrete or continuous data.
Would really appreciate any help thankyou.

A variable  X is continuous roughly/informally, if in order to plot the values X assumes, you do so without lifting your pen(cil) from the paper. If between any two values it assumes, there is always a third value in between. If you're plotting, e.g., number of children, you plot the possible values as 1,2,3,... n. There are no values between 1 and 2 . Then number of children is discrete. If you plot height ( say in inches), then , the values can be any number. Between, say, 69  and 70, you can find any other values: 69.1, 69.3, 69.40001.. , etc. Because height is a continuous variable.
Here, it would depend on how you measure consumption. Are you measuring it in terms of ounces, bottles, glasses, etc ? Say you're measuring in bottles. Would you consider fractional bottles, i.e., 1.5 bottles ?
Feel free to ask a followup.
