About this check

The AUDIT is the 10-question alcohol screener developed by the World Health Organization. It covers three areas: how much and how often you drink, whether you show signs of alcohol dependence, and whether drinking has caused harm. Scores of 8+ suggest hazardous drinking; 16+ suggests likely dependence.

Important: This is a screener, not a diagnosis. "Drink" here means a standard drink — roughly one small beer (330 ml), one glass of wine (140 ml), or 30 ml of spirits. Adjust your answers to standard drinks rather than serving sizes if yours vary.

What your score means

Low-risk drinking · score 0–7

Your score is in the low-risk range. Alcohol use at this level is unlikely to be causing you harm, though some people choose to drink less or not at all for other reasons.

Hazardous drinking · score 8–15

Your score is in the hazardous range. Drinking at this level increases your risk of alcohol-related harm — to liver, sleep, mood, relationships, and safety.

Harmful drinking · score 16–19

Your score is in the harmful range. Alcohol is likely already causing real harm in your life, even if you are still managing day to day.

Likely alcohol dependence · score 20–40

Your score is at or above 20 — the threshold that suggests probable alcohol dependence. Stopping suddenly can be medically dangerous at this level.
