Problem drinkers were slightly more likely to report a missed dose (17% vs 12%, P =.38] and significantly more likely to report taking medicines off schedule (45% vs 26%, P =.02). Among drinking subtypes, taking medications off schedule was significantly associated with both heavy drinking (high quantity/frequency) (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 4.70: 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.49 to 14.84; P
