- ABOUT THE TEST
The Clinical Basis For This Alcohol Screening Test
This self-screening tool draws on principles from validated clinical instruments used to assess alcohol use, such as the AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test), widely used by GPs and mental health professionals. It's designed to help you reflect on your drinking patterns, not diagnose you.
The questions look at the same core markers clinicians assess: how much you drink and how often, whether you've tried to cut back, how much you think about drinking when you're not, and what it's cost you, socially, physically or otherwise, when you have. What matters isn't a single heavy night; it's the pattern over time.
What This Test Looks At
Frequency and quantity of drinking, attempts to cut back or stop, and the impact alcohol has had on your health, relationships, or day-to-day life.
A Starting Point, Not a Label
Your score flags whether your drinking has crossed into a pattern worth addressing. It doesn't define you.
A Clear Way Forward
If your results suggest a possible concern, HelloDoc can connect you with a psychologist or psychiatrist to work through it properly.

- FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A few honest answers before you begin your alcohol addiction screening test.
Is this alcohol addiction test a diagnosis?
No. This is a screening tool only. Alcohol addiction is complex and can present differently from person to person; only a formal assessment with a qualified professional can confirm a diagnosis.
How long does the alcohol test take?
About 2 to 5 minutes for 20 questions. Answer based on your first instinct rather than overthinking; it’s usually the most accurate response.
What should I do if my alcohol test score is high?
A higher score doesn’t confirm alcohol addiction, but it’s a sign worth taking seriously. We’d recommend booking an assessment with one of our psychologists or psychiatrists, in confidence and without judgement.
