  1. *Stable alcohol habits, reference group, with -0.49 to 0.49 SD = - 2 to 2 AUDIT scores from T0 to T2.
  2. **Decreased alcohol habits with (< -0.5 SD) = < - 3 AUDIT scores or lower from T0 to T2.
  3. ***Increased alcohol habits with > 0.5 SD = > 3 AUDIT scores or more from T0 to T2.
  4. A:Crude OR for each separate variable.
  5. B:OR for each variable, adjusted for all variables in the model.
