  1. Data are given as means ± standard deviation (SD), and as number (%) for categorical variables. P-value is based on the x2 test or Student’s t-test. Significant is at the 5 % level

Non-drinkers were subjects who drank 12 drinks (one drink means less 10 g) or less per year ofless than 10 g/drinking day
