- 1 glass or more OR = 2.34 CI95[1.71,3.21]
- Less 1 glass OR = 2.18 CI95[1.57, 3.03]
- 1 glass or more OR = 7.67 CI95[4.97,11.83]
- Less 1 glass OR = 1.46 CI95[1.22,1.74]
- 1 glass or more OR = 1.37 CI95[1.02,1.84]

ORs denote positive correlations with UNhappiness. The standard notation in the WDH is from less to more happiness, hence the direction of correlation is noted above as negative (-)
