Bs and βs, as well as change in F scores related to corresponding changes in r2 between models, p < .05. Sex scored 0 = male, 1= female. Committed relationship status scored 0 = single, 1 = in a committed relationship. All continuous variables were standardized (z-scored) prior to entry into the models. Bs are interpretable in outcome units (number of drinks, number of days, or number of hours).
