Frequently Asked Questions

What is AUDIT-C?
WHO-validated 3-item alcohol screen extracted from full AUDIT (10 items). Used by primary-care + occupational health globally. Score ≥4 (men) or ≥3 (women) = positive screen — increased risk of alcohol use disorder. Sensitivity ~85-95%, specificity ~70-85%. The first widely-used self-screen and still gold-standard.
Is "1 glass per day is healthy" true?
No — disproven by 2018+2024 Lancet meta-analyses. The "J-curve" was a statistical artifact: sick non-drinkers (people who quit because of illness) made the abstainer group look unhealthy. Cleaner studies show: zero alcohol = lowest mortality. Low alcohol = small but real risk. Moderate-heavy = sharply increasing risk. The wine industry funded a lot of the "healthy" research.
Why is "should I quit?" so hard?
Three reasons: (1) Alcohol is socially embedded — abstaining feels like opting out of culture. (2) Industry marketing is normalized + omnipresent (estimated $25B/year in alcohol marketing). (3) Withdrawal in heavy drinkers can be medically dangerous (DTs/seizures) — quitting cold-turkey at high consumption needs medical supervision. The decision is psychological + cultural + medical, not just willpower.
What if I score high?
Steps: (1) Don't quit cold-turkey if you've been drinking heavily daily — risk of seizures. See GP first. (2) Free resources: SMART Recovery, AA, Sunnyside / Reframe / Sober Sidekick apps. (3) NA beer + mocktails are vastly improved 2024. (4) The "30-day no alcohol" experiment is low-risk for most + reveals dependence status quickly. (5) Therapy (motivational interviewing, CBT) is highly effective.
