What the AUDIT measures
The AUDIT covers alcohol consumption, drinking behaviours, and alcohol-related problems — including frequency, quantity, binge drinking, inability to stop, neglected obligations, morning drinking, guilt, injury, and concern from others.
Who should take this screening
Consider the AUDIT if you wonder whether your drinking is affecting health, work, or relationships, or if others have expressed concern. Honest answers produce the most useful screening result.
How AUDIT scoring works
WHO-defined zones describe increasing levels of risk — not a formal diagnosis.
