AUDIT-C · ALCOHOL USE SCREENING
Three questions about your drinking over the past year. Get a private result and consider whether a conversation with a provider could help.
Please confirm you are 18 or older.
Think about the past year when answering all three questions.
YOUR AUDIT-C SCREENING RESULT
A screening result is not a diagnosis. Alcohol can affect sleep, mood, medications and medical conditions even below a screening threshold. This tool cannot determine whether drinking is safe during pregnancy or for your individual circumstances.
The three answers contribute 0–4 points each, for a total of 0–12. Common screening thresholds are 3 or more for women and 4 or more for men. This page shows both reference thresholds without asking for sex or gender; it does not assign a personalized positive or negative label. A clinician can help interpret your result for your circumstances.
If all points come from drinking frequency (question 1), the quantity and pattern need review rather than assuming the score alone establishes unhealthy drinking. AUDIT-C is not the full 10-question AUDIT or USAUDIT-C, which have different scoring approaches.
No result was calculated. Your answers have been cleared. You can request support without finishing the screener.
For this U.S. presentation, one standard drink contains about 14 grams of alcohol: 12 fluid ounces of beer at 5%, 5 fluid ounces of wine at 12%, or 1.5 fluid ounces of spirits at 40% (80 proof). Larger pours, strong beers and cocktails may contain more than one standard drink.
If you drink heavily or have had withdrawal symptoms before, speak with a healthcare professional before abruptly stopping. Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous and sometimes life-threatening. This screener cannot assess withdrawal risk or provide a detox plan.
If you have a seizure, severe confusion, or hallucinations, seek emergency care now. Do not wait for an appointment callback. This page is not monitored.
Answers and scores stay in this page’s memory. They are not saved in browser storage or sent to WordPress, GoHighLevel or our care team. Clearing, reloading or leaving removes them. The separate appointment form has its own data handling.
We count starts, completions and subsequent appointment requests using a temporary random marker. No answers or scores are included. Ordinary hosting access logs are separate.
AUDIT-C uses the three alcohol-consumption questions from the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. It asks about drinking frequency, typical quantity, and occasions with six or more drinks over the past year. It is a starting point for further assessment, not a measure of alcohol dependence or withdrawal severity.
No. You can speak with a clinician about alcohol, medication interactions, sleep or mood at any score. If you have concerns during pregnancy, discuss them directly with your prenatal care team; this tool cannot establish a safe amount to drink.

The AUDIT was developed through the World Health Organization collaborative project (Saunders et al., 1993). As a WHO-approved instrument, the AUDIT is in the public domain. This free page uses the original three-question AUDIT-C response structure, not USAUDIT-C. No organizational endorsement is implied.
