Notes: HDE = past month heavy drinking episodes (5/4 drinks per occasion for men/women); BAC = blood alcohol content; reinforcement ratio is the proportion of total reinforcement derived from substance-related activities and is computed from the ARSS-SUV; one participant did not complete the heavy drinking item at baseline and two participants did not complete the ARSS-SUV correctly and thus had missing reinforcement ratio data.
