According to NCADD, if you answer "yes" to any three of the questions on the alcoholism test for teenagers, you may be at risk for developing alcoholism.
If you answer "yes" to five of the questions on the alcoholism quiz, you should seek professional help. You do have a problem with alcohol and will most likely require some level of treatment to deal with the problem. Talk to your doctor or a counselor, and show them the results of this test.
This is not the only alcoholism test available, but is one of the most often used. This alcoholism quiz is popular because it is relatively short and the questions are easy to answer.
