How the score works

The score is the sum of 10 WHO questions, from 0 to 40. One “drink” ≈ a glass of wine (150 ml), a beer (330 ml) or a shot of spirits (40 ml). Under 8 is low risk, 8–15 risky use, 16–19 harmful, 20 and above possible dependence.

  • 0–7Low risk
  • 8–15Risky drinking
  • 16–19Harmful drinking
  • 20–40Possible dependence

0–40

What the AUDIT measures

AUDIT looks at three things: how much and how often you drink, signs of losing control, and consequences for health and life. It is not a label but a way to look honestly at your risk level and decide whether to change anything.

What a “standard drink” is

To make answers more accurate, count in “drinks”. One drink is roughly a glass of wine (150 ml), a beer (330 ml) or a shot of spirits (40 ml). Strong cocktails and large glasses can contain 2–3 drinks at once.

When to seek help

A high score is not a verdict but a signal. It is worth seeing a doctor or addiction specialist if:

  • you can’t stop or cut down even though you want to;
  • alcohol is affecting your work, relationships or health;
  • people close to you or a doctor have expressed concern. Asking for help is normal, and it works.

Alcohol and the liver: what to check

Regular drinking hits the liver first. Lab tests help show the strain: ALT, AST and especially GGT. If it has been a while, it is worth decoding them; changes are often reversible if caught in time.

Frequently asked questions

  • No. AUDIT is a screening tool: it assesses risk level and helps you decide whether to seek help. Only a specialist makes a diagnosis.

  • No. Answers are processed only to calculate the result and are not stored anywhere. You receive a breakdown by email — that is all. This matters especially on such a sensitive topic.

  • Roughly a glass of wine (150 ml), a beer (330 ml) or a shot of spirits (40 ml). Strong cocktails often contain several drinks at once.

  • Don’t beat yourself up. It is a reason to calmly see a doctor or addiction specialist and to check your liver with lab tests. Support and a plan to cut down really do work.

The AUDIT test (WHO) is informational and a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Assessment and help are up to a specialist. With severe dependence, sudden withdrawal without medical care can be dangerous — please seek support.
