a

Analysed using linear mixed‐effects models, with results presented as a coefficient equating to the difference in the mean maximum alcohol consumed.

b

Analysed using negative binomial mixed‐effects models, with results presented as incidence rate ratios (IRRs).

c

Analysed using linear mixed‐effects models with results presented as coefficients equating to the difference in the mean proportion of consumption in each setting.

d

Analysed using logistic mixed‐effects models, and presented as odds ratios (ORs). Models are adjusted for covariates; full results are included in Supporting information, Table E4. Results are based on multiple imputation with estimates combined using Rubin's rules.
