Note. Parenthetical values are standard deviations for ordinal variables and percentage of total sample for categorical variables. There were no significant differences between groups based on 2 (depressive symptom group) × 3 (VAR dose) ANOVA or chi-square when appropriate. CESD is the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Weekly (Q) is average number of drinks consumed each week. Weekly (F) is average number of drinking sessions each week. Weekly Binge Days is the average number of days each week where women/men report drinking 4/5 or more drinks, respectively.
