Ayikho okubhalisa—imiphumela yakho iyavela kabini.
DSM-5 Alcohol Use Disorder criteria clusters (Hasin et al. 2013): impaired control, social impairment, risky use, tolerance/withdrawal · Original 20 items, not the AUDIT or AUDIT-C (WHO, Saunders et al. 1993) — we do not administer either instrument; AUDIT is public-domain for non-commercial use only.
Lokho ozothola
- See how much impaired control shows up in your answers — whether it's hard to stick to the amount or timing you intended once you start.
- Get a read on social impairment — whether drinking has started to affect responsibilities, work, or relationships.
- Understand your risky use — whether you keep drinking in situations that carry real physical risk.
- Get a sense of tolerance and withdrawal — whether your body has adapted to regular drinking in ways worth paying attention to.

No. This is a free, self-reflection tool, not a clinical diagnosis. It cannot tell you whether you have Alcohol Use Disorder in a medical sense — only a licensed professional can make that kind of assessment. What it can do is give you a plain-language snapshot across four domains, impaired control, social impact, risky use, and tolerance/withdrawal, which can be a useful starting point if you're wondering whether your drinking is worth a closer look.
It happens to most people occasionally, and that alone isn't the concern. The pattern this check-in looks at is consistency: does it happen regularly, is it hard to stop once you start, and does it affect your responsibilities or relationships. One occasional overshoot is different from a repeating pattern.
Start by treating your results as information, not a verdict. A good next step is a conversation with a doctor or a licensed counselor who works with alcohol use — they can help without judgment. The SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-4357, free, confidential, available 24/7) is a good starting point, and support communities like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or SMART Recovery are free and widely available if you want peer support alongside professional help.
If your body has adapted to regular, heavy drinking, stopping abruptly can carry real medical risk, including withdrawal symptoms that sometimes require supervision. This is why a high-tier result on this check-in comes with a specific recommendation: talk to a doctor before making a sudden change, so you can do it safely rather than on your own.
