Note. n=191. Higher composite scores for depressive symptoms and anxiety indicate greater feelings of depressive symptoms or anxiety, respectively. Frequency of alcohol consumption refers to the number of days in the past month participants consumed alcohol. Binge drinking refers to if a participant consumed 6+ drinks in one sitting in the last past month. Binge drinking, ethnicity, household type, and employment status are dichotomous variables with engaging in binge drinking, being Hispanic, being in a single-parent household, working full time, and attending college representing the higher value.
