The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-10) is a research-validated screening instrument containing ten carefully worded questions that explore frequency, quantity, and consequences of drinking during the previous twelve months. It helps identify risky behaviour early, encouraging reflection and timely advice-seeking before serious health, social, or legal problems develop.

Each response is converted into a weighted number between 0 and 4. Adding the ten values yields a score from 0 to 40, which is immediately translated into one of four evidence-based risk bands. A colour-coded pill and semi-circular gauge provide clear visual feedback, making interpretation quick and intuitive even on small screens.

Use this confidential assessment when checking your alcohol intake ahead of medical appointments, lifestyle goals, or candid discussions with supporters; never complete it on behalf of anyone unable to give informed consent or to self-report honestly, as accuracy depends on truthful answers. Results do not constitute a clinical diagnosis or replace professional evaluation.

Technical Details:

The tool assigns an integer weight to each answer, then sums the ten weights to generate a total alcohol-use score (0 – 40). A decision matrix instantly maps that score to a predefined risk band.

Scoring thresholds are based on World Health Organization guidelines and widely adopted in clinical settings for screening adults.

  • Ten questions, each worth 0 – 4 points
  • Total calculated with simple addition
  • Four distinct risk bands inform guidance
  • Semi-circular gauge highlights results

Calculations & Scoring:

The questionnaire performs two straightforward calculations: your numeric total and the matching risk category.

1 · Total Score

Sum the ten weighted responses.

2+1+0+3+1
7 The partial subtotal equals 7.

7+2+1+0+1+1
12 Subtotal rises to the final total.
You have a total score of 12.

2 · Risk Category

Piece-wise mapping from score to risk band.

S=12
8≤S≤15 The score falls within the hazardous bracket.

C=Hazardous
The application highlights “Hazardous” and updates visual cues accordingly.
Your category is Hazardous.
