Countries rank ordered (from highest to lowest) by total consequences scores among male drinkers are shown in Table 2. Superscript a beside the ranking indicates that the country scored significantly (p < .002, the Bonferroni adjusted probability level) lower on that consequences scale compared to the average score across all other countries; superscript b beside the ranking indicates that the country scored significantly higher compared to the average score across all other countries controlling for age. Countries that had consistently higher rankings (i.e., higher mean scores on negative consequences) were Uganda, Nicaragua (except scores on high endorsement acute consequences and not significant for women on personal consequences), Czech Republic, Kazakhstan (men only), and New Zealand (not significant for men on personal consequences). Men from India ranked significantly higher on problems overall and on personal and social consequences but significantly lower on high endorsement acute consequences. Women (but not men) from Australia scored higher than average on all scales. Men from Costa Rica and women from Nigeria scored higher overall and on personal and social consequences.
