Beta coefficient and 95% confidence interval calculated from a multivariable linear regression analysis. Reference group = 0 drinks/week. Model adjusted for Age, Sex, Race, Socioeconomic status, Smoking, Physical Activity, BMI, insulin resistance, Hypertension, high-density cholesterol, CRP. CIIS, cardiac injury score; CRP, C-reactive protein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; BMI, body mass index. Hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥85 or taking antihypertensive medications. Insulin resistance defined as fasting blood sugar ≥100 mg/dl, or self-reported history of diabetes or taking medications.
