Fill out the test below to get an estimate of the likelihood that you or someone you care about is suffering from alcohol addiction.
Are there days where you stay drunk for more than 24 hours?

Do you ever feel guilty about drinking?
Do you ever get withdrawal headaches, feel depressed, or feel suicidal on days when you don't drink?
Do you ever have an alcoholic drink in the morning?
Do you feel socially inept whenever there's no alcohol at a party?
Do you have any of these: fatigue, worsening memory, wake up with abdominal discomfort, episodes where your body shakes, or nausea?
Do you have other family members that drink large amounts of alcohol or always include drinking alcohol in their daytime activities?
Do you notice that you can handle a lot more alcohol now than you could when you first started?

Do you rearrange your budget to ensure that alcohol is always in the house and may even replace some foods?

Is drinking a big highlight of your day?
Is it rare for you to eat three meals in a day?
Let's say that you drank a lot at a party last night. You didn't pass out or black out. The next day your friends tell you that you said certain things you don't recall saying at all. Does this happen to you?
When you are feeling sad, do you have a few drinks to ease the pain?
When you try to drink less, do you find that you get to the point where you feel so bad - but a drink pulls you out of it?
