  1. * Estimates of percent change are from linear mixed models, including participant as a random effect and alcohol levels as fixed effects treated as two indicator variables.
  2. † P-trend values (two-sided) are from linear mixed models, including participant as a random effect and alcohol levels as a continuous fixed effect with values 0, 15, and 30.
