How many drinks does it take for you to feel high? (Tolerance)
Does your partner (or do your parents) ever Worry or complain about your drinking?
Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover? (Eye-opener)
Have you ever Awakened the morning after some drinking the night before and found that you could not remember part of the evening before?
Have you ever felt that you ought to K/Cut down on your drinking?
A woman receives 2 points on the tolerance question if she reports that she can hold more than five drinks without falling asleep or passing out. A positive response to the worry question scores 2 points, and a positive response to each of the last three questions scores 1 point each. A total score of 2 or more indicates that the woman is a risk drinker and requires further assessment.
