a
No energy drink use significantly (p < .05) different than concurrent energy drink use with alcohol, based on Holm-Bonferroni corrected p-value.
b
Energy drink alone significantly (p < .05) different than concurrent energy drink use with alcohol, based on Holm-Bonferroni corrected p-value.
c
P-values for pairwise between group comparisons on alcohol use disorder severity were estimated by ordered logistic regression.
