The analyses focused mainly on the pattern of drinking quantities (i.e., usual drinks per occasion and maximum drinks per occasion) and alcohol-related problems (i.e., alcohol-related blackouts) over the 55 weeks for the three groups and the differences between the participants with low LR and high LR. Figure 2 illustrates the findings for the average maximum number of drinks; the results for usual drinks per occasion and the number of alcohol-related blackouts were similar. The left side of Figure 2, panel A, gives the average maximum drinks at each of seven timepoints over the 55 weeks for the participants with SRE scores above the median (i.e., had a lower response per drink, or a lower LR). These data are demonstrated separately for controls (in black), for the state-of-the-art group (in orange), and for the LR-based group (in blue). The right side of Figure 2, panel B, gives the results for individuals who had lower SRE scores (i.e., had higher responses per drink, or higher LRs).
