Model adjusted for age, ethnicity, education, household income, BMI, smoking status (never, current, and past by quit duration), cigarettes smoked per day, smoking duration, and history of COPD/emphysema. Beer, red wine, white wine, and liquor consumption were mutually adjusted for in the model.
Linear for one-drink increase per month.
May include occasional drinkers who drank <1 drink/mo.
