Is your drinking an issue?

Postby UrAteUp » Mon Sep 22, 2008 3:18 pm GMT

A little medical test to determine if your drinking is an issue.

wow... i pegged me almost perfectly....

i've recently quit drinking because of issues it brought up...


"Increasing risk
Your results, according to the AUDIT questionnaire you have just filled out, suggest that you're at increasing risk of harming your health as a result of drinking.


And if you regularly drink at a level that places you at increasing risk you might already have experienced problems like feeling tired or depressed, gaining extra weight, memory loss when drinking, sleeping poorly and sexual difficulties.

Overall, and whatever your age and sex, you’re probably in worse physical shape than you would be otherwise and you could suffer from high blood pressure. Some people get argumentative if they’re drinking, which can have a negative effect on relationships with family and friends.

What to do next?
If you’re in this category, there’s a chance that the amount you are drinking is causing you harm. In fact it might already be having a bad effect that you’re not aware of. So you have a very important decision to make: should I cut down my drinking?

Only you can make this decision, but we can offer information, help and support."

Wtf, 1 whisky and a sixpack and you're passing the 10+ max numbers of units thing. Was it the girlscouts who made this thing?

Evidently I'll get cancer and die, talk about killing the party.

Well the RDL is 3-4 units, anything above 10 would be an unnecessary scale for the survey.

These things are shite. The definition of binge drinking officially is something like 4 pints of beer in one session so I ignore all these things!

Is this your way of informing the forum you have a secret drinking problem Geno?
