This quiz uses the 10 questions of the AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), a screening tool developed by the World Health Organization. Doctors and counselors around the world use it to spot risky drinking early. It looks at three things: how much and how often you drink, signs of dependence, and problems alcohol may be causing in your life.
Each answer scores 0 to 4 points, for a total between 0 and 40. If you answer “Never” to the first question, the quiz skips ahead to the last two questions, which ask about past harm and other people’s concern.
| Score | Risk level | Suggested next step |
|---|---|---|
| 0–7 | Lower-risk drinking | Keep an eye on how much you drink. |
| 8–15 | Increasing risk | Cut back, and talk to your doctor about your drinking. |
| 16–19 | Harmful drinking | Get a professional assessment and ask about treatment options. |
| 20–40 | Possible alcohol dependence | See a doctor or addiction specialist for a full assessment. Ask about medical detox before stopping. |
This quiz is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Only a doctor or licensed clinician can diagnose an alcohol use disorder. If you’re worried about your drinking, talking to a professional is a good idea whatever your score.
In the US, one standard drink contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol. That’s roughly:
Many drinks poured at home or in restaurants are larger than one standard drink, so it’s easy to undercount.
For some people, no. If you drink heavily every day or need a drink in the morning, stopping suddenly can cause alcohol withdrawal. Symptoms can start within hours of your last drink and range from shaking, sweating and anxiety to seizures and delirium tremens (DTs), which can be life-threatening. See our day-by-day alcohol withdrawal timeline for what to expect.
That’s why a doctor should be involved before you quit. Medically supervised alcohol detox keeps you safe and as comfortable as possible while your body adjusts.

No. The AUDIT is a screening tool that shows whether your drinking may be risky. Only a doctor or licensed clinician can diagnose an alcohol use disorder after a full assessment.
A score of 20 or more suggests possible alcohol dependence and a need for a full assessment. Scores of 8 to 19 suggest increasing-risk or harmful drinking.
The World Health Organization developed the AUDIT as a simple way for health workers to identify risky drinking. It is one of the most widely used alcohol screening tools in the world.
