  1. aThe estimated coefficient is per unit increase in consumption of alcohol
  2. bAdjusted for baseline SES, smoking (in combined analyses of smokers and non-smokers only), physical activity, baseline BMI, and sex. Analyses specific to alcohol types were additionally adjusted for other types of alcohol
