The frequency of drinking occasions per month and the quantity of alcohol consumption per week were square-root-transformed prior to the analyses. Means and standard deviations shown are for the untransformed variables. Univariate test results reported are from Analyses of Covariance (ANCOVA). Gender was controlled in all analyses. η2 = effect size (eta squared).
