Data for United States (US) all adults ≥19 years with reliable dietary intake data (n=39,298) and a subset of consumers who reported consuming > 0 kcal/d from an alcoholic beverage during the 24 hour period prior to the dietary recall interview (n=7,081). All proportions take into account survey design and sample weights. Values are % or means ± SE. Differences were considered statistically significant at P<0.05, after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.
