Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test

Since it is our intention to help you, we have selected, from the myriad of questionnaires, the best researched for our purpose. In this case, the questionnaire will tell you whether you should seek specialized advice. Of course, this result will never substitute for the opinion of your physician or mental health specialist.

"Now I am going to ask you some questions about your use of alcoholic beverage during the past year."

(Alcohol beverage = beer, wine, liquor (vodka, whisky, brandy, etc.)
