  1. Data are displayed as unstandardized beta (confidence interval), standardized beta, p-value. Significant results are in bold, *p < .05
  2. aBinge drinking (consuming four or more standard drinks (five for men) of alcohol on the same occasion at least once a month) from ages 16 to 43 (range 0–28) is defined as number of years during which the participant reported binge drinking
  3. bCombined total alcohol consumption and binge drinking from ages 16 to 43 ranged from 0 (not binge drinking or alcohol consumption under 75th percentile ages 16 to 43) to 2 (binge drinking 1–28 years and alcohol consumption over 75th percentile)
