Note. Unless otherwise noted, means (standard deviations) are presented. Items on frequency of binge drinking were rated such that: 1 = 1 or 2 days in the past 3 months; 2 = one day/month; 3 = 2-3 times/month; 4 = 1 day/week; 5 = 2 days/week; 6 = 3-4 times/week; 7 = 5-6 times/week; and 8 = every day. FTND = Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence, BIS-11 = Barratt Impulsivity Scale, Version 11, UPPS+P = UPPS+P Impulsive Behavior Scale.
