Alcohol Use Screening: AUDIT & AUDIT-C

Understand alcohol screening and prepare to discuss your drinking with a care provider.

This is a self-reflection, not a validated screening test. It has no diagnostic score and cannot decide which treatment you need.

Start the preparation checklist

About the standardized tool

AUDIT has 10 questions about drinking and related problems. AUDIT-C uses three consumption questions. A provider can choose the version and interpretation that fit your situation. Follow the timeframe and drink definitions in the version you use.

Open the official WHO AUDIT resource

The official resource opens on another website. Its privacy practices apply there. Our preparation checklist below does not produce the standardized tool’s score.

Before you begin

Think about what you want help discussing. These are Alpine preparation prompts, not AUDIT questions. You can leave items blank or stop at any time. More checked boxes do not equal a diagnosis or a higher level of care.

No name, email, or phone number is needed. This check-in does not send your choices to admissions or save them in browser storage. General website analytics may still operate. Use a private device when possible. Printing may leave a copy on your device or printer. You choose whether to contact Alpine.

Need urgent help? If someone is in immediate danger, cannot be woken, has trouble breathing, has a seizure, or may have overdosed, call 911. For suicidal thoughts or emotional crisis in the U.S., call 988. Do not wait for an online result or an admissions call. These tools are not monitored.

Your preparation checklist

Select the items you want help with. Then choose “Show my next steps.” If you prefer, read the guidance below without making any selections.

You can still read each item and the next steps below. Interactive results need JavaScript.

What your answers can help you discuss

An alcohol screen can identify concerns that need a closer look. It does not diagnose alcohol use disorder or show whether withdrawal is safe.

I want to understand my drinking pattern.

Bring an honest estimate of how often you drink and how much you usually have.

I am not sure what counts as one drink.

Ask a provider to explain drink sizes and alcohol strength. A large pour may be more than one standard drink.

I have concerns about the effects on health or relationships.

Share specific effects rather than relying on a score alone.

I drink to handle sleep, stress, or difficult feelings.

Ask about help for both drinking and the concern behind it.

I have felt shaky or sick after cutting back.

Ask a medical professional about withdrawal safety before making changes.

I want help choosing a next step.

Ask for a full assessment and discuss care options that fit your needs.

Choose one small step

Bring your drinking pattern, last drink, medications, and any past withdrawal symptoms to a medical provider.

Words you can use: “I have noticed a change. I would like help understanding it and making a safe plan.”

Common questions

What if I did not check anything?

That does not rule out a concern. You may still ask a qualified professional about anything that worries you.

Who sees my choices?

This check-in does not submit your choices to Alpine. It does not alert a clinician. If you want help, contact a provider yourself.

Can this tell me whether I need residential care?

No. A care provider needs to consider your health, safety, daily life, support, and preferences before recommending treatment.
