Alcohol can affect sleep, mood, relationships, safety, and health even before someone thinks of their drinking as a problem. This check-in looks at frequency, control, consequences, and the role alcohol is playing in your life.
This tool is designed for self-reflection and support navigation. It is not a diagnosis. Results should be interpreted in context, especially when symptoms are severe, persistent, or affecting daily life.
About the evidence: Project Semicolon custom alcohol-use check-in informed by domains used in brief alcohol screening and WHO AUDIT guidance. It is not the AUDIT or AUDIT-C.
Project Semicolon reviews assessment wording, scoring logic, safety routing, and source status separately from the directory experience. Custom check-ins are clearly distinguished from validated instruments.
We store the completed assessment type, result band, score when applicable, limited secondary signals, and basic engagement events for aggregate metrics. Raw question responses are not stored.
This assessment is a screening and support-navigation tool, not a diagnosis or substitute for professional medical care.
No. Binge patterns, risky situations, loss of control, or repeated consequences can matter even when drinking is not daily.
Yes. Alcohol can temporarily change mood while also disrupting sleep and worsening anxiety or depressive symptoms for some people.
You can still seek support. Many services can help you explore goals, reduce harm, or decide what change feels realistic.
For people who drink heavily or regularly, withdrawal can sometimes be medically dangerous. A clinician can help determine whether supervised withdrawal is needed.
