Alcohol Use Disorder Self-Assessment

Am I Experiencing Alcohol Use Disorder?

Our alcohol use disorder quiz can help you understand the severity of your or a loved one’s potential alcohol addiction. While only a doctor or addiction specialist can provide a formal diagnosis, this quiz can be a helpful first step in your recovery journey.

Alcohol addiction is a complex condition. Healthcare professionals use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) to assess whether someone meets the criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD). This self-assessment helps you recognize your behaviors with alcohol and assess the potential for alcohol use disorder (AUD).

 

Please read the following questions carefully and select the response that best describes you. Your responses will remain confidential and anonymous.

1. 
Do you often drink more than you planned or for a longer period than you intended?

2. 
Do you want to cut down or control your alcohol use?

3. 
Do you feel strong urges or cravings to drink?

4. 
Have friends or family members mentioned your drinking habits?

5. 
Have you stopped participating in hobbies, social events, or work that were once important to you because of alcohol use?

6. 
Has your alcohol use ever caused you to miss or fail to meet responsibilities at work, home, or school?

7. 
Have you continued drinking despite the social or relationship problems caused by alcohol?

8. 
Have you continued drinking even though it has caused or worsened physical or mental health problems (e.g., depression, anxiety, liver disease, high blood pressure)?

9. 
Have you repeatedly used alcohol in situations where it was hazardous, like while driving or operating machinery?

10. 
Do you spend a significant amount of time obtaining, using, or recovering from alcohol?

11. 
Have you noticed that alcohol has less of an effect on you than it used to, or that you need to drink more to feel the desired effects?

12. 
When you try to cut back or stop drinking, do you experience uncomfortable physical or mental symptoms?
