AUDIT Alcohol Screening Test (10 Questions) with Instant Result
For: The person who drinks, about themselves · Takes 2 minutes · Reviewed by Dr. Pichayut Kasempukdeepong (Psychiatrist), 6 September 2026
AUDIT (the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) was developed by the World Health Organization and has been used in healthcare settings around the world for more than 30 years. It is the most widely validated screening tool for drinking problems.
The test has 10 questions and takes about 2 minutes. Your result places your drinking in one of four zones, from low risk to possible dependence, with next steps suited to each. The result is a preliminary screen, not a diagnosis, and your answers are not stored.
Alcohol here means any drink containing alcohol: beer, wine, spirits, cocktails, and local brews. Choose the answer that best describes your drinking over the past year. A "drink" means one standard drink (a 330 ml can of beer, a 140 ml glass of wine, or a 40 ml shot of spirits).
Your answers are not stored or sent anywhere.

How Alcohol screening test (AUDIT) scores are interpreted
After you finish, your result is interpreted using the ranges below. The result is an initial screen, not a diagnosis.
Score
Level and what it means
0–7Women or age over 65: 0–6
Low-risk drinking Your drinking is in the low-risk range and does not meet the threshold for intervention. To stay safe, keep to no more than 2 standard drinks a day and have at least 2 alcohol-free days a week.
8–15Women or age over 65: 7–15
Hazardous drinking Your drinking is in the "hazardous" range. You may not have problems yet, but continuing to drink this way raises the risk of harm to your health, work, and relationships. Cutting down the amount and frequency now works best. If you cannot cut down on your own, outpatient care with a doctor can help.
16–19Women or age over 65: 16–19
Harmful drinking Your drinking is in the "harmful" range, meaning it is already affecting your body or daily life. We recommend seeing a doctor to plan a safe way to cut down or stop, with ongoing follow-up.
20–40Women or age over 65: 20–40
Possible alcohol dependence: please see a doctor Your score is in the range where alcohol dependence is possible, and you should be assessed and treated by a doctor. Stopping suddenly on your own can cause dangerous withdrawal symptoms, so please talk to a doctor before you stop. Day One offers medically supervised detox and residential treatment.
