Fig. 1.

Trajectories of alcohol use frequency before and after college graduation (A) among the overall sample, (B) by race/ethnicity and gender, and (C) by baseline drinking pattern.

Note. Baseline drinking pattern defined as binge (four or more drinks/day for females and five or more drinks/day for males) and non-binge (drank less than binge level) during the first year of college. Students who did not drink during the past year during the first year of college were excluded from this model because of convergence problems caused by small sample size and insufficient variability in the alcohol frequency measure.
