AUDIT Screening for Problem and/or addiction
If you are unsure if you have a problem, try this simple screening.
Am I an addict? Answer these 10 questions about your use of your habit during the past year. In the questions, a drink is equal to 12 oz. of beer, 5 oz. of wine, or 1.50 oz. of 80 proof liquor (a standard shot). And a use is equal to each time you used in every setting. If food is your addiction, eating is equal to each time you ate when meal was already eaten.
Please answer each question by choosing the answer that best describes your drinking or habit and what has happened to you in the last 12 months.
When you are finished, your numbers will be added to your total AUDIT Score below. 'Rate Your Score' for more information.

Your AUDIT Result Scores
A score of 0 indicates you're a non-drinker.
A score of 1-7 indicates you are likely drinking at low-risk levels, assuming that:
A. You are not taking a medication that is made dangerous or ineffective by Alcohol.
B. You do not have a medical condition made worse by alcohol.
C. You are not pregnant (There is no known safe level of drinking during pregnancy.)
Any of these conditions suggests it would make sense to stop drinking.
A score between 8 and 18 indicates you are drinking above relatively healthy levels.
A score between 19 and 40 suggests dangerous drinking and possible physical dependence. Considering a major change is recommended.
