Drinking self test
CAGE is the most widely used test in clinical practice. The test includes four questions and takes only a few minutes.
Have you ever felt you should CUT DOWN on your drinking?
Have people ANNOYED you by criticizing your drinking?
Have you ever felt GUILTY about your drinking?
Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning as an EYE OPENER to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover?
If you answered yes to at least two of the above questions, you are at risk of having a problem with alcohol. There are other diagnostic tools available to help you further assess a problem with alcohol or drugs. Your physician can help you determine if a problem exists.
