The main effects of COVID-19-related stress and healthy coping latent factors on change in drunkenness frequency are displayed in Table 2 and Fig. 2. Note, Fig. 2 depicts group-level change in terms of participants who reported that their frequency of drunkenness has increased or decreased since the start of the pandemic. Among those without a prior history of AUD, associations between COVID-19 risk and protective factors with increases in drunkenness frequency were not observed. Among all groups with a history of AUD (including those with pre-pandemic AUD symptoms and those remitted from AUD), perceived stress was associated with increases in drunkenness. Among the remitted-abstinent group, essential worker status was associated with increases in drunkenness.Table 2Main effects of COVID-19 stress and coping factor scores on self-reported change in drunkenness frequency since the start of the pandemic among COGA participants without and with a history of AUD, including individuals with current symptoms of AUD and in abstinent and non-abstinent remission from AUD before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.No past AUD (N = 645)Current AUD (N = 606)Remitted drinking (N = 231)Remitted
