Note. CI = confidence interval; p = p-value for trend
a
Average volume: drinks per day.
b
Current drinking: 12 or more drinks in any 1 year or in their lifetime and had consumed one or more drinks in the past year.
c
Years = range of years covered by trend and {%} = prevalence (or percentage) corresponding to the initial and last years covered by the trend.
d
AAPC is presented for overall trends, which include only single segments. Because there are no joinpoints, AAPC is identical to Annual Percent Change (APC).
