In crisis or thinking about suicide? Call or text 988 — 24/7 Emergency: 911

The self-check · answer for the past year, roughly

Ten questions. Just for you. No email. Nothing stored.

This is our own plain-language rebuild of the drinking self-assessment, scored the standard clinical way — based on the WHO AUDIT, the screen your doctor would likely use. It is an educational screen, not a diagnosis. It runs entirely on this page — your answers are never stored or sent.

Before you start: if you're thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 now. And if you drink heavily every day, don't stop abruptly without medical advice — sudden withdrawal can be dangerous.

  1. 1.How often does drinking happen for you?

    Any alcohol counts — the glass of wine with dinner, the beer after work.

  2. 2.On a day when you drink, how many drinks actually happen?

    One standard drink ≈ a bottle of beer, a 5-oz glass of wine, or a 1.5-oz shot.

  3. 3.How often does one drink turn into six or more?

    The night that was supposed to be a couple.

  4. 4.Once you've started, how often is stopping harder than you planned?

    Deciding to quit at drink two and looking up at drink six.

  5. 5.How often has drinking crowded out something you meant to do?

    The workout, the school run, the deadline, the call you didn't make.

  6. 6.After a heavy night, how often does a morning drink feel necessary to get going?

    Not wanting one — needing one to steady out.

  7. 7.How often does the next day arrive with guilt or regret about drinking?

    The 6 a.m. replay of the night before.

  8. 8.How often are there gaps — pieces of the night you can't get back?

    Being told what you said, instead of remembering it.

  9. 9.Has drinking ever led to you or someone else getting hurt?

    A fall, a fight, a drive that shouldn't have happened.

  10. 10.Has someone who cares about you — or a doctor — raised your drinking?

    The gentle comment that landed harder than it sounded.

Scoring based on the WHO AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test); question wording is our own. A screen, not a diagnosis — only a clinician can make one, and only if you want it. Nothing you answered was stored or sent; it all stays on this page.
