AORs and 95% confidence intervals shown for blacks, and Hispanics, vs. whites (ref)

Base Model: adjusting for heavy drinking score + demographics (gender, age, education, marital and employment status)

Model 1: adjusting for heavy drinking score + demographics + POVERTY

Model 2: adjusting for heavy drinking score + demographics + UNFAIR TREATMENT

Model 3: adjusting for heavy drinking score + demographics + RACIAL/ETHNIC STIGMA
