Notes: Cohen’s d was calculated with the following formula: $d=2t/\sqrt{df}$ (Rosenthal and Rosnow, 1991). By conventional criteria (e.g., Cohen, 1988) small, medium, and large effects are generally considered to be .2, .5, and .8, respectively. Peak represents maximum number of drinks consumed on one occasion in the previous month.
