🚀 Ready to Stop Overthinking Your Drinking? Take the Quiz Now!
Let's get started!
Question 1 of 10
How often do you drink more than you intended?
Rarely, if ever — I might not even finish what's in my glass. The idea of not being able to stop, honestly, doesn't register for me.
More than I'd like — I start with one and suddenly, mysteriously... the bottle is empty.
Every single time — "just one" is something I tell myself, but let's be honest, I stopped believing that a while ago.
Question 2 of 10
Have you ever tried to take a break but found it harder than expected?
No — I drink so rarely there's nothing to take a break from.
Yes— I've tried — and I can do it for a while. But a few weeks later, I'm back to my old ways, like the break never happened.
Yes — and not only do I end up back where I started, but somehow I come back drinking more than before. Dry January lasted about four days.
Question 3 of 10
Do you use alcohol to unwind, de-stress, or cope?
Alcohol as a stress reliever? That's never really occurred to me — I'd rather go for a walk or call a friend.
More than sometimes — it's become my default way to decompress, and I'm not sure when that happened.
Yes — it's my go-to. Hard day, good day, Tuesday — wine o'clock is a thing.
Question 4 of 10
Do you drink more than 2 standard drinks per week? (A standard drink = 5 oz. wine — that's less than half a typical wine glass. Most people have no idea what a standard pour actually looks like — and most home and restaurant pours are double that.)
No — I drink so infrequently that counting drinks has never been a thing for me.
Yes — once I saw what 5oz actually looks like, I realized I've been drinking way more than I thought.
Definitely — and honestly, what even IS a standard pour? Between the big glasses and the box wine, I stopped counting a long time ago.
Question 5 of 10
Do you wake up regretting or second-guessing your drinking choices?
Regret? No — I sleep well and wake up feeling fine. The idea of dreading the morning after a drink genuinely doesn't resonate.
More than occasionally — I wake up annoyed at myself and spend the morning replaying the night before.
More than I'd like — hello hangxiety, shame spiral, and the promise that tonight will be different. 😬
Question 6 of 10
Have you ever felt concerned about your drinking—even if no one else has?
Never — alcohol just doesn't take up that kind of space in my head. It's not something I think about.
Yes — but I look around at everyone else drinking and tell myself I'm not that bad. Still, it nags at me.
More than I'd like to admit — it takes up a lot of mental real estate, and I'm tired of thinking about it.
Question 7 of 10
Do you struggle to imagine your social life without alcohol?
Not at all — I'm just as fun with a sparkling water, honestly.
It feels weird to think about — I'm not sure who I'd be at a party without a drink in my hand. And what would people think?
Absolutely — every celebration, every dinner, every night out involves alcohol. And if I stopped? Everyone would think something was wrong with me.
Question 8 of 10
Have you noticed alcohol messing with your sleep, energy, or focus?
No — I drink so rarely it's never been an issue.
Maybe — I wake up tired and foggy more than I should, but I tell myself it's just life.
Yes — exhausted, foggy, drained, and wondering why I did it again. Every. Time.
Question 9 of 10
Do you ever justify your drinking by comparing it to others?
No — I drink so little it's never something I've needed to justify.
Yes — I tell myself everyone drinks like this, but the comparison doesn't actually make me feel better.
All the time, but honestly? Deep down, I know it's more than I want it to be.
Question 10 of 10
Do you feel like alcohol is holding you back from reaching your full potential?
No — I drink so rarely it genuinely doesn't factor into my life or goals.
Honestly, yes — I find myself wondering what I could accomplish if alcohol weren't part of the equation.
Without a doubt — I can feel it costing me, and I know deep down I'm capable of so much more.
