Alcohol Use Self-Assessment

Drinking alcohol often becomes a routine part of social life or a way to unwind after work. Yet the boundary between moderate enjoyment and a risky habit can be very narrow. This questionnaire will help you take an honest look at your relationship with alcohol. Your answers will indicate whether your drinking habits may pose a health risk and whether it may be time to consider a change. The test takes about 4 minutes.

How this test is built

This questionnaire is based on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) developed by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Its 10 questions assess the amount and frequency of alcohol use and its possible consequences. The total score—from 0 to 40—indicates the level of risk. This educational self-reflection tool does not replace a formal medical diagnosis.

Questions about “Alcohol risk”

What is the AUDIT?

It is a 10-question tool developed by the World Health Organisation—the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test—and is widely used around the world to assess risks associated with alcohol use.

Does this test diagnose alcohol dependence?

No. It is an educational tool that can draw attention to your habits. Only a healthcare professional can make a formal diagnosis.

What do the different risk ranges mean?

Results are divided into four ranges, from low risk to high risk suggesting possible dependence. The higher the score, the more likely alcohol is harming your health and daily life.

What should I do if my score is high?

A high score suggests that willpower alone may no longer be enough to reduce your drinking. Consider professional support, an addiction treatment service, or a peer support group.

Is the test free, and how long does it take?

Yes. This 10-question test is completely free, requires no registration, and takes about 4 minutes.
