AUDIT-C – Alcohol consumption self-check – questionnaire preview

The AUDIT-C is the short form of the World Health Organization’s Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test and consists of its first three questions: how often you drink, how much on a typical day, and how often six or more drinks occur on one occasion. Each question counts 0 to 4 points, giving a total from 0 to 12. Interpretation is sex-specific: from 4 points for men and 3 points for women the result counts as positive. Being short, freely available and well validated, it is among the most widely used screenings in primary care and workplace health management.

Frequently asked questions

From which score is the AUDIT-C considered positive?
The common thresholds are 4 points for men and 3 points for women. Because an anonymous self-check should not require the respondent’s sex, this template reports a borderline range of 3 to 4 points and names both thresholds in the interpretation text.
What counts as a standard drink?
A standard drink contains roughly 10 to 12 grams of pure alcohol – about 0.3 l of beer, 0.125 l of wine or 4 cl of spirits. The definition appears in the welcome text so that everyone uses the same reference.
