About This Test

This free alcohol use disorder test is for adults who want a quick check of drinking risk. In under two minutes, you will answer brief questions about how much and how often you drink, any loss of control, problems at work or home, and withdrawal or cravings. Your score highlights likely risk level for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and flags common alcoholism symptoms such as needing more to feel the same effect or drinking despite harm.

Use your result as a practical starting point. If your score is higher, consider a professional evaluation and support for alcohol addiction or alcohol dependence. If it is lower, you may still want to review units of alcohol, cut back strategies, and binge drinking risks. Many people search “am I an alcoholic” after a tough weekend or a pattern of heavy use. This tool cannot diagnose a condition; only a qualified clinician can. It gives you a clear snapshot so you can decide whether to seek help now, begin self-care, or retake the alcohol test to track change over time.

How the test works

You rate recent drinking patterns: weekly amounts, episodes of binge drinking, attempts to cut down, impact on responsibilities, and signs of dependence. Scores map to risk bands (low to high) and suggest next steps: self-help to reduce units, brief interventions, or a full alcohol assessment. You can retake this alcohol self-assessment to track progress.

Scientific basis

Items mirror validated alcohol screeners used in adults, specifically the AUDIT questionnaire (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) for risk levels. This tool is reliable for screening and monitoring; diagnosis requires clinical evaluation.

FAQ:

What does my score mean?

It reflects your current risk for alcohol use disorder and suggests next steps.

Is this a diagnosis?

No. It is a self-assessment; only a clinician can diagnose alcohol dependence or AUD.

What about binge drinking?

The test notes heavy single-session use and explains why repeated binges raise risk even if weekly totals seem “average”.

How do units of alcohol fit in?

Understanding units of alcohol helps you set limits and compare drinks of different strengths and sizes.

How often should I retake it?

Every few weeks—especially after cutting down or starting support—to monitor change.
