These tests are for screening. A result is not a diagnosis: only a psychiatrist or psychologist can make one, after talking with you.
Your answers are scored on this device and never sent. Only your result is saved, with the email address you confirm.
Confirm your email address
Before the test we send a 6-digit code to your email address. Your result is saved with it, so that our team can help you if you wish. The email with the code contains no health information.
Answer each question about your drinking Yes or No.
Choosing an answer takes you to the next question. You can go back at any time.
Your result
No clear warning signs
You answered 'yes' to fewer than three questions, so this checklist shows no clear warning signs. Regular drinking still affects health; if you are unsure about your drinking, a doctor can advise you.
Worth getting a professional opinion
You answered 'yes' to three or more questions. This suggests that alcohol may be causing problems for you, and it would be worth getting a professional opinion. Dealing with dependence is not easy, but individually tailored treatment options are available.
Number of 'yes' answers
out of 19
Take your result as a rough guide, not a diagnosis. How you feel over time, and a conversation with a specialist, tell much more than a questionnaire.
Talk it through with a specialist
If your result worries you, or you would like to talk it through, our psychiatrists can review it with you, free and without obligation.
