  1. Note. All regression models are adjusted for age, living environment and linguistic region. Single indicator model: Alcohol use outcomes on SES indicator tested in separate models. Fully adjusted model: Alcohol use on perceived family income, highest achieved own education, parents’ highest achieved education. aRisky single occasion drinking defined as drinking 6 or more drinks on one occasion. bWeekly risky drinking, defined as drinking 21 drinks per week or more. cLinear regression models, unstandardized regression coefficient are reported
