Alcohol Use Check-In
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.
About this assessment

Alcohol FAQs
Do I have to drink every day for alcohol to be a problem?
No. Binge patterns, risky situations, loss of control, or repeated consequences can matter even when drinking is not daily.
Can alcohol make anxiety or depression worse?
Yes. Alcohol can temporarily change mood while also disrupting sleep and worsening anxiety or depressive symptoms for some people.
What if I am not ready to stop completely?
You can still seek support. Many services can help you explore goals, reduce harm, or decide what change feels realistic.
Can stopping alcohol suddenly be risky?
For people who drink heavily or regularly, withdrawal can sometimes be medically dangerous. A clinician can help determine whether supervised withdrawal is needed.
