Bisexual identity/orientation	70 (19.9)	2.7 (1.9–3.8)^‡	2.2 (1.3–3.9)^†
Number of male sex partners in the past week ≥2	92 (15.5)	2.0 (1.3–2.9)^†	1.5 (1.0–2.4)*

Multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied for alcohol consumption (Model 1); multivariable linear regression model was performed for stigma and discrimination (Model 2); P6M: in the past 6 months; OR: odds ratio; 95% CI: confidence interval; AOR: adjusted odds ratio; ^∗𝑃<0.05; ^†𝑃<0.01; ^‡𝑃<0.001.
