Am I Addicted to Alcohol? Free Self-Assessment Quiz

Why This Matters

Alcohol use disorder affects roughly 29.5 million people in the United States alone. Many people who struggle with alcohol never receive a formal assessment, often because they aren't sure where the line is between normal drinking and a problem.

The AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) was developed by the World Health Organization as a simple screening tool that anyone can use. It has been validated across cultures and settings, and is used by doctors worldwide as a first step in identifying risky drinking patterns.

This self-assessment is not meant to label you. It is designed to give you a clear, honest starting point. Whatever your score, understanding your relationship with alcohol is the first step toward making informed choices about your health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this quiz a medical diagnosis?

No. This quiz is based on the AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) developed by the WHO, but it is a screening tool — not a diagnosis. Only a healthcare professional can diagnose alcohol use disorder.

Is my data saved or shared?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent to any server, never saved, and never shared. When you close the page, everything disappears.

What is the AUDIT test?

The AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) is a 10-question screening tool developed by the World Health Organization. It is used worldwide by healthcare professionals to identify people whose drinking may be putting their health at risk.

What score means I have a problem?

AUDIT scores of 8 or above suggest hazardous or harmful alcohol use. Scores of 20+ suggest possible alcohol dependence. But numbers don't define you — if your drinking concerns you at any level, that concern is valid.
