Results are adjusted for chronological age, sex, race, center, education, pack years of smoking, BMI, and physical activity. Beta coefficients for recent binge represents the gain in EAA for participants who binge drank in the past 30 days and the beta coefficients for recent binge quantity represents the gain in EAA for each additional day of binge drinking in the past 30 days.
