Am I Drinking Too Much? Take This Quick 2-Question Test Backed by UK Research

Do you find yourself cracking open a bottle of wine in the late afternoon? If you're wondering whether it's becoming a problem, UK researchers have developed a simple two-question screening tool used by health professionals.

1. How often do I drink more than five drinks on one occasion?
2. Did I do something in the past year, or did something happen that I later regretted?

Highly Reliable
If you answer 'yes' to both, it may be time to seek professional help. This test detects drinking problems with 90.9% accuracy, according to the study.

Be honest: Are both your answers 'yes'?
