Answer these 10 questions to get a confidential recommendation for the level of support that may fit your situation. This is not a medical diagnosis. If you’re in immediate danger or experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms (confusion, seizures, hallucinations), call 911.

In the past 30 days, how often did you drink alcohol? *

On a typical drinking day, how many drinks do you have? *

Binge drinking is defined as 4+ drinks for women or 5+ drinks for men in a single sitting.

How often this happens matters: some people never binge drink, some do it less than monthly, others do it weekly, and some do it multiple times per week. Binge drinking is a drinking pattern that can raise the risk of developing alcohol-related problems faster—so the goal of this question is simply to help you spot how frequent these episodes are for you.

When you stop or delay drinking, your body can respond in a few different ways depending on how used to alcohol it has become. Some people feel normal with no withdrawal symptoms. Others notice strong cravings, irritability, or trouble sleeping, even if they don’t feel physically sick. For some, withdrawal becomes more physical—shaking, sweating, nausea, a fast heart rate, or even feeling like they need a drink in the morning to feel “normal.” In more serious cases, symptoms can escalate to confusion, hallucinations, or seizures, which can be dangerous and should be treated as an urgent medical situation.

When you stop or delay drinking, what happens? *

Have you tried to cut down or quit and couldn’t? *

Has your tolerance increased (needing more alcohol for the same effect)? *

Alcohol can affect memory—especially at higher levels of intoxication—sometimes causing memory lapses or blackouts (periods where you may seem awake but later can’t recall what happened).

If you’ve had blackouts or periods of memory loss, Nova lists this as one sign you could benefit from alcohol abuse counseling.

In the question, on the next page, consider how often this happens for you: never, once or twice, monthly, or weekly or more.

Have you had alcohol-related blackouts or memory gaps? *

How much has alcohol affected work/school/family responsibilities? *

Which statement best describes you right now? *

If you decide to stay sober, what does your living situation look like? *
