The AUD+ and AUD− groups at 10 years did not differ on most demographic characteristics except, as expected, the AUD+ group reported higher alcohol consumption and drinking problems than the AUD− group at the 10-year re-examination as well as initial testing phase (Table 1). Across the test phases, the groups did not differ significantly on average BrAC (Figure 2) with both showing a rapid rising BrAC limb to peak level 60 minutes after the initiation of the beverage consumption, followed by a slow BrAC declining limb [group x time x phase: χ2 (8)=5.78, p=0.672]. Thus, while reflecting individual variability in alcohol pharmacokinetics, particularly in absorption for oral administration (40), the AUD group means did not substantially differ on BrAC levels across testing phases.
