conduct tests by AUD status, gender, age and ethnicity as the sample grows. Finally, in both the overall and gender-stratified analyses, change in drunkenness frequency among remitted-abstinent individuals was particularly affected by COVID risk and protective factors. We note that this group is significantly older and has a more severe alcohol-related history compared to other participants with a past AUD (Table 1). Both age and AUD severity likely have impacts on the associations of drunkenness with COVID risk and protective factors and should be explored in future studies.
