Drinkaware, when answered honestly, told me to take the test at www.howsyourdrink.org.uk. I duly did this test and scored 13, which put me in in the 2nd category "Risky". The other categories available were "usually safe", "harmful" and "very harmful". I did the test again, as a tea totaller and scored 0, which put me in the "usually safe" group.......USUALLY SAFE????!? Suddenly both websites hit rock bottom in my estimation. They're seem geared at scaremongering. If I had one drink a month, this site would have me wondering if my drinking was safe! As such it said my drinking is risky. What am I at risk of? Moving into the harmful group? My habit hasn't changed in years, I'm not in a downward spiral, to be concise - I'm in control. Everybody knows if they're drinking to much. They may or may not admit it to anyone else or even to themselves, but then know it. Only they can then make the decision to alter or cease their habit. Everyone is different too, no basic criteria like those offered on these sites can accurately identify a problem drinker. Nothing beats the application of some good old fashioned common sense... (p.s. It's a shame nobody picked up on the comment that Nigel made regarding the tax on booze and the cost of treating the small group of people that are damaged by it)
