Descriptive statistics were calculated for the drinking variables (typical drinks per week, heavy drinking episodes, and peak lifetime drinks) and cope and enhance IAT scores. Ten participants had missing data on alcohol use variables and the three participants who reported Japanese ethnicity were omitted given the small size of this group, resulting in a sample of 56. Correlations between genetic variables, IAT scores and drinking outcomes are presented in Table 1. Results indicated moderate to strong positive correlations among the drinking variables and a moderate positive correlation between the IAT scores. IAT scores had small to moderate positive correlations with the drinking variables and were not significantly correlated with COMT or ALDH2.
