Notes: (1) regular alcohol drinking defined as consuming alcohol at least 52 times in the past year; (2) infrequent drinking/abstain defined as using alcohol less than 52 times in the past year; (3) opioid and sedative-hypnotic use defined as prescribed use of either medication for 30 days or longer; “ns” indicates not statistically significant with alpha set at 0.05.
