^aAORs are reported with 95% CI in parentheses; AORs were generated from multinomial logistics regression adjusted for age, gender, race, marital status, education attainment, and family income for NESARC-III sample and age, gender, race for NIAAA sample; ^*P < 0.05 ^**P < 0.01 ^***P < 0.001 (significant AORs in boldface).

^bAlcohol binge levels are gender-specific: for women, non-binge = 1–3; level I = 4–7; level II = 8–11; level III Inline graphic 12 drinks; for men, non-binge = 1–4; level L = 5–9; level II = 10–14; level III 15 drinks.
