4-year weight change (lb) for every simultaneous 1 drink per day change in alcohol intake among HPFS men without obesity, 1994–2010 (n=7,371 men contributing 17,485 4-year periods)

	Weight Change, lb (95% CI)	p-value	Weight Change, lb (95% CI)	p-value	Weight Change, lb (95% CI)	p-value
	Age-Adjusted Model1		Multivariable-Adjusted Model2		Multivariable + total energy
Total Beer	0.08 (−0.24, 0.40)	0.61	0.15 (−0.17, 0.47)	0.36	0.13 (−0.19, 0.46)	0.43

Regular Beer	0.66 (0.28, 1.04)	0.001	0.61 (0.22, 1.00)	0.002	0.60 (0.20, 1.00)	0.004

¹Age-adjusted models are adjusted for age (years) at start of each 4-year period

²Multivariable-adjusted models are adjusted for age (years) at start of each 4-year period, year (at start of 4-year period), history of high cholesterol (ever, never), history of high blood pressure (ever, never), 4-year change in the following time-varying covariates: smoking status (current, past, never), total physical activity (MET hours per week), vigorous physical activity (MET hours per week), watching TV (hours per week), sleep (hours per night), and 4-year change in the following dietary covariates (servings/day): fried potatoes, fruits, vegetables, juice, whole grains, refined grains, fried foods, processed meat, non-processed meat, nuts, coffee, sweets, sugar sweetened beverages (other than juice), diet beverages, whole-fat dairy products, low-fat dairy products, seafood, and trans fat, wine (drinks/day), liquor (drinks/day). Light beer and regular beer were mutually adjusted for each other.
