Are you a drunk?


Some interesting stuff:

"Of those who had alcohol dependence during their lifetimes, only 24.1 percent ever received treatment, and 12.1 percent of those with alcohol dependence during the previous year received treatment during that time.

The average age at which patients first received treatment for dependence was 29.8 years--eight years later than the average age at which they developed the condition. In addition, treatment rates are slightly lower than those found 10 years earlier, where 23.5 percent of those with lifetime dependence and 13.8 percent of those with dependence in the previous 12 months sought treatment."


How do you know if you have alcohol dependence? Try this! I got a 22. I always score high on the crazy scales. How drunk are you?
