    Do you drink too much?

    Take the test:
    Alcohol: are you addicted?

    Post your result!

    You are drinking too much and need to change your habits. Return to the previous questions. If your answer was yes in questions 4, 5 or 6, you may well be addicted to alcohol, or about to be. You need to cut down on your drinking - now!


    Many of the people I know (in the pub) would score much higher on that test than me. I don't consider them alcoholics.

    I got the same, though having dinner in the pub while working away seems to be a factor - I don't drink anything like as much when I'm based at home.

    Cheers!

      I didn't answer yes to 4, 5 or 6. The trigger from no probs to the result obtained was ticking the 5-6 units in a day when you do drink. 3-4 was perfectly acceptable.

        Only answered yes to one of the three - but I could probably have easily answered no to it as well.

        There's a bit of a theme developing here isn't there?

          Yes - we should have a pub get-together. Seems we'd all get on like houses on fire

            I don't appear to have a problem. But I did give myself the benefit of the doubt on some of the answers.

              I am going to fake it and see how sober you need to be to "pass"
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                Quite right - how do you expect me to remember if I fell over and hurt myself last year? It was ages ago, and anyway, I was pished!

                  OK, it looks like you can have (one of) the following (answers given for Q8-10):
                  • Six drinks three times a week (4,3,4)
                  • Four drinks more often as long as you only go over 6 units three times a week (5,2,4)
                  • A massive bender twice a month (3, 5, 3)
                  • A pint of scotch four times a week (5, 1, 5)


                  As long as you answer no to all the other questions except the one about being nagged by your other half.

                    You probably don't have any big problems with alcohol, but it would not harm you to cut down anyway!



                    I obviously need to drink more.
