Micronutrient’s adequacy ratio (Mean consumption/Estimated Average Requirements (EAR)). Grams of alcohol were split into quartiles (Q) and the mean values of each quartile was divided by 15 to obtain the equivalent number of beverages per day. The mean and the standard error of the mean (SEM) were estimated based on multivariate variance analyses after controlling by country, age, total energy intake, and sex. See main text for details.
