a

Coefficients represent standard deviation (SD) change in continuous latent factor of routine acute alcohol-related dysfunction for respectively:

• Drinking non-beverage alcohol compared to not drinking non-beverage alcohol;

• One standard deviation increase in latent alcohol intake factors (beer, wine or spirits);

• Drinking large volume of spirits without eating “sometimes” or “always” compared to “never”;

• Drinks alone “sometimes” or “often” compared to “never”;

• Drinks before noon “occasionally” or “frequently” compared to “never”.

All estimates are adjusted for age.

b

Mutually adjusted for beer intake, wine intake spirit intake, non-beverage alcohol use, spirits without food, drinking alone and drinking before noon.
