Here is another online screening test for anyone interested in evaluating their or a loved ones alcohol use. It is commonly referred to as the MAST, or the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test.

This test asks questions like,

  • do friends and family think of you as a normal drinker?
  • are you able to easily stop drinking after a few drinks?
  • have you ever woken up the next day and not remembered events of the night before?
  • have you ever been arrested for more than 1 DUI?

The MAST has been widely used as a screening tool to help individuals concerned about their alcohol use. Take a look at it or send it to a friend who may benefit.
