CAGE Screening Test for Alcohol Dependence

CAGE is an internationally used assessment instrument for identifying problems with alcohol. The CAGE self-test may help you become aware of your use or abuse of alcohol. Please note, this test focuses on alcohol only. You must utilize the DAST test to focus on drug use. To take this questionnaire, carefully read each statement and decide whether your answer is yes or no. Please click on the radio button next to the answer that best reflects how each statement applies over your whole life.

Please note: This test will only be scored correctly if you answer each one of the questions.



	Yes No	Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?
	Yes No	Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
	Yes No	Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?
	Yes No	Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover (eye-opener)?

* This assessment is not a diagnosis and should not be used as such. Only you can determine if you have an addiction to alcohol and drugs.
