What is a AUDIT Score?

The AUDIT Score Calculator scores the full 10-question Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, a validated screening tool developed under the World Health Organization to identify risky or harmful alcohol consumption patterns.

This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. If you're concerned about your drinking patterns, please talk to a doctor. See also the faster AUDIT-C Calculator for a 3-question abbreviated version.

How to use this AUDIT Score calculator

  1. Answer each of the ten questions honestly, based on your own drinking patterns.
  2. Read your AUDIT Total Score instantly.
  3. Use the result as a prompt for reflection or as a conversation starter with a healthcare professional.

Formula & Methodology

Questions 1-8 are scored 0-4; questions 9-10 are scored 0, 2, or 4 based on whether and when the event occurred.

Total Score = Sum of all 10 item scores (range: 0-40)

Worked example — a set of answers summing to 2+1+1+0+0+0+1+0+0+2:

Total Score = 2+1+1+0+0+0+1+0+0+2 = 7

As with any screening score, interpretation and next steps are best discussed with a healthcare professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

The AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) is a validated 10-question screening tool developed to identify risky or harmful alcohol consumption patterns, covering consumption, dependence symptoms, and alcohol-related problems.
No — the AUDIT is a screening tool only, not a diagnostic instrument. A higher score suggests it may be worth discussing your drinking patterns with a healthcare professional, but only a qualified clinician can make an actual diagnosis.
Each of the ten questions is scored, most on a 0-4 scale and the final two questions on a 0/2/4 scale, and all ten scores are summed for a total ranging from 0 to 40.
The [AUDIT-C Calculator](/audit-c-calculator/) uses only the first three consumption-focused questions as a faster screen, while the full AUDIT includes seven additional questions covering dependence symptoms and alcohol-related harms for a more comprehensive picture.
The questions span drinking frequency and quantity, loss of control, failure to meet expectations, morning drinking, guilt, memory blackouts, alcohol-related injury, and others expressing concern about your drinking.
Higher totals generally reflect more indicators of risky or harmful drinking; this calculator does not provide a clinical interpretation — any concerns about your score should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
No — this calculator runs entirely in your browser and does not transmit, store, or share your answers anywhere.
The final two questions (about injury and others' concern) ask about the presence and timing of an event rather than frequency, so they use a 0/2/4 scale reflecting whether it has ever happened and whether it happened in the past year.
Consider speaking with a doctor or addiction specialist about your drinking patterns — the AUDIT is designed to prompt that conversation, not replace it, and support is available if you have concerns.
The AUDIT was developed under the World Health Organization as a cross-culturally validated screening tool for risky alcohol consumption, and remains one of the most widely used alcohol screening instruments internationally.
