The following questions are about your drinking over the past year.
How often do you have a drink containing alcohol?
How many drinks do you have on a typical day when you are drinking?
How often do you have six or more drinks on one occasion?
In the past year, how often have you found that you were not able to stop drinking once you had started?
In the past year, how often have you failed to do what was expected of you because of drinking?
In the past year, how often have you needed a drink in the morning to get yourself going?
In the past year, how often have you had a feeling of guilt or remorse after drinking?
In the past year, how often have you been unable to remember what happened the night before because you had been drinking?
Have you or someone else been injured because of your drinking?
Has a relative, friend, doctor or health professional been concerned about your drinking or suggested you cut down?
These questionnaires are for screening, not for diagnosis. A high score does not mean you have an illness, and a low score does not rule out needing help. Diagnosis is made by a professional, in a consultation.
The test is scored in your browser. Nothing is sent to us or stored, and you do not need to give a name or an email to see the result.
The AUDIT was developed by the World Health Organization to identify risky drinking before dependence sets in. It is free to use and is used in primary care worldwide.
