Alcohol categories	Model 1		Model 2
	Mean ± SE	Trend p-value	Mean ± SE	Trend p-value
Never Drinker	0.86±0.013	0.01	0.86±0.013	0.07
Former Drinker	0.87±0.012		0.87±0.012
1-3 drinks/week	0.89±0.015		0.89±0.015
4-7 drinks/week	0.90±0.024		0.90±0.024

Least mean square and standard error calculated from multiple linear regression analysis

Model 1 adjusted for age, sex, race, and education

Model 2 adjusted for Model 1 plus smoking (never, former, current, and pack-years), BMI, self-reported physical activity, family history of heart attack, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglyceride, use of cholesterol medications, diabetes, C-reactive protein and eGFR.

SE, standard error; cIMT, carotid intima-media thickness; BMI, body mass; HDL, high-density cholesterol; LDL, low- density cholesterol
