p<0.10; estimates from gender stratified logistic regression models with adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI); all models adjusted for demographics (age, marital status, education, & income), volume from 1–2 drinks, and survey year; Model 4 used drink-size adjusted HD and adjusted volume from 1–2 drinks;

Model 4 is identical to model 3 except that it used the adjusted drink-size variables.
