If you think that you or someone you know has an alcohol problem, this alcoholism quiz may help you become more certain.
While an alcohol quiz is somewhat subjective and hardly scientific, answering yes to many of the questions here is a strong indication of minimal alcohol abuse, if not full-blown alcoholism.
It is important to note that an alcoholism quiz is just the first step when confronting your drinking.
The difference between abuse and alcoholism is that the former causes problems with various aspects of daily life. If the pattern of abuse continues it can turn into dependence where the person become unable to control their cravings.
As you read the questions in the quiz, be honest with yourself or about the person who worries you. There is no one watching this alcohol quiz but you, and only you will know the answers.
If, after completing the alcohol quiz, you feel that there is a problem, the time has come to act. See a physician or counselor or encourage the person you know to do likewise. Also look into support programs.
Then, if you feel you need help after completing the alcoholism quiz, contact your healthcare provider right away for an assessment of your condition, alcoholism and alcohol abuse treatment referrals, and support program recommendations.
Note: this alcoholism quiz is worded to you, the reader. If you are taking it based on another person’s behavior simply insert that person’s name for “you” to provide more focus.
If you answered three or more of the alcoholism quiz questions positively then it’s very likely that you, or someone you know, are using alcohol in a way that’s potentially harmful to your health. And while the results of an alcohol quiz is only one indicator, the sooner someone gets help, the better.
