Any type of alcohol use is defined as consuming any alcohol in the previous 3 months. AUDIT is a standardized scale, made up of 3 components, alcohol consumption, alcohol dependence, and alcohol problems, used to determine problem alcohol use; a score of 8 or more is regarded as problem alcohol use.

^*Adjusted for HCV RNA at six months, age, sex, drug use three months prior to the final follow-up visit, and self-reported alcohol use
