Interpretation of final score:
The AUDIT-C is scored on a scale of 0-12 (scores of 0 reflect no alcohol use). In men, a score of
4 or more is considered positive; in women, a score of 3 or more is considered positive.
Generally, the higher the AUDIT-C score, the more likely it is that the patient's drinking is
affecting his/her health and safety.
If you scored positive, your drinking may be a cause for concern. The more symptoms you
have, the more urgent the need for change. A health professional can conduct a formal assessment
of your symptoms to see if an alcohol use disorder is present.
