Alcohol is so widespread in our social life that it's easy not to notice when it becomes a problem. Drinking to relax, to sleep, or to cope with social situations may gradually become a necessity.
In addition, alcohol is strongly linked to anxiety, depression, and insomnia - it may provide short-term relief but worsen mood and sleep in the medium term.
Signs of problem drinking
Drinking more than you thought, not being able to stop once you start, needing more to feel the effect, feeling guilty, having gaps, neglecting obligations or being told by people close to you that you drink too much.
It's not easy to recognize. Seeking help early prevents many health, family and work problems.

What does the alcohol consumption test measure?
This test is called the AUDIT, a 10-question questionnaire developed by the World Health Organization to identify risky drinking, harmful drinking, and potential alcohol dependence. Score from 0 to 40.
It is a guidance tool: it does not replace the assessment of a professional nor is it a diagnosis.
How to interpret the results?
Low-risk drinking
Based on your answers, your alcohol use is low risk. Recommendation: remember that no amount of alcohol is completely safe; the less, the better.
Hazardous drinking
Your alcohol use may be harming your health even if you don't notice it yet. Recommendation: this is a good time to cut down; if you find it hard, a professional can help you.
Harmful drinking
Your drinking already seems to be having consequences for your health or your life. Recommendation: we advise you to seek professional help to cut down or stop.

Frequently asked questions about the alcohol consumption test (AUDIT)
How long does it take to take a blood alcohol test?
Very little: it's 10 questions and it's answered in 2 or 3 minutes. When you're done, you'll see your result on the screen and, if you want, we'll send it to your email.
Is the alcohol use test reliable?
AUDIT is a screening tool developed by the World Health Organization and widely used worldwide. However, it is only indicative and does not replace the assessment of a professional.
How much alcohol is too much?
There is no such thing as a totally safe consumption: any amount has risks, and these increase with the amount. Heavy consumption on a single occasion is especially harmful.
Can I stop drinking all at once?
If you drink heavily and every day, talk to your doctor first: stopping suddenly without supervision can cause dangerous withdrawal.
What is the relationship between alcohol and anxiety?
Alcohol relieves anxiety in the short term, but increases it later and worsens sleep. That is why many people enter a circle that should be dealt with together.
