Mean and standard deviation (SD, between brackets) number of alcoholic drinks are shown. Post-hoc pairwise comparisons were conducted with Bonferroni’s correction. * = Differences are significant if p < 0.05. - = no post-hoc tests conducted as main effect was not significant. Abbreviations: AO = alcohol only; AMED = alcohol mixed with energy drink.
