  1. Note: remote/regional or urban OR = the odds of each container being used by a person living in a remote/regional or urban community; p = logistic regression p.value; * p < 0.05; container volumes are as follows
  2. *Volume of containers in mL: multi pack: 1100 - 3750; can: 375 - 375; stubby (i.e. glass of beer): 275 - 375; drinking glass: 240 - 350; slab (i.e. case of beer): 8280 - 11250; bottle: 500 - 750; used bottle: 500 - 2000; cask: 2000 - 5000; wine glass: 150 - 200; beer glass: 285 - 450; jug: 1140 - 1140; paper cup: 235 - 235; longneck: 660 - 750; cocktail glass: 180 - 180
