Am I an Alcoholic?

Most people never stop to look at their drinking clearly. This free 'Am I an alcoholic?' self-assessment helps you notice the patterns behind your habits, from the occasional social drink to signs worth paying attention to, so you can decide what feels right for you.

15 questions~3 min

Wondering 'am I an alcoholic?' is a brave and surprisingly common question. For most people the honest answer is not a simple yes or no, but a place on a spectrum that runs from relaxed, low-risk drinking to patterns worth paying attention to.

This free self-assessment walks through 15 honest questions about how, when, and why you drink, from having more than you planned to drinking alone or to cope with stress. It gives you a judgment-free read on where your habits sit today, plus gentle, practical next steps.

It cannot diagnose alcohol use disorder. Only a qualified professional can do that. Think of this as a private moment of self-reflection, not a medical result. If drinking is affecting your life, reaching out for support is a sign of strength.

Frequently asked questions

Am I an alcoholic if I drink every day?

Not necessarily. Frequency is only one factor. What matters more is whether you can control how much you drink, whether you rely on alcohol to cope, and whether it is affecting your health, work, or relationships. A daily drinker with none of those signs is in a different place than an occasional drinker who cannot stop once they start.

What is the difference between heavy drinking and alcoholism?

Heavy drinking describes how much you drink. Alcohol use disorder is about loss of control: craving alcohol, needing more for the same effect, struggling to cut down, and continuing despite harm. Heavy drinking raises the risk of a disorder, but they are not the same thing.

Can this quiz diagnose alcohol use disorder?

No. It is a self-reflection tool, not a clinical assessment. A proper diagnosis comes from a doctor or addiction specialist. If your results concern you, please reach out to a professional.

What are early warning signs of a drinking problem?

Common early signs include drinking more or longer than intended, drinking to manage stress or mood, needing more to feel the same effect, feeling guilty afterward, and other people expressing concern. Noticing them early makes change much easier.

Where can I get help for drinking?

A good first step is talking to your doctor, who can point you to counseling, support groups, or treatment. Free confidential helplines exist in most countries. You do not have to reach a crisis point to ask for support.
