Age, sex, height, build, city and preloading were also included in the stepwise model but only hours drinking, drinking rate and hours since eating a meal were significantly related to %BAC at interview. The final model accounted for 40.02% of the variance. Degrees of freedom: Model = 3; Intercept = 1; Log units per hour = 1, Log hours drinking = 1, Log hours since ate = 1; Error = 207. SE = standard error
