Derived from the Daily Drinking Questionnaire and represent typical drinks per week consumed in the past month; Intensity represents hypothetical alcohol consumption at free cost; Omax represents maximum overall expenditures on alcohol; Pmax represents maximum inelastic price; Breakpoint represents price per drink at which consumption ceases; Elasticity represents rate of consumption reduction as a function of price with greater values indicating greater sensitivity to increases in price. F values come from ANOVAs examining group differences on continuous variables without controlling for covariates. Post-hoc analyses indicate significant subgroup differences among subgroups that do not share superscript values.
