C.A.G.E – a short test for alcohol problems.

The Cage Test is a short screening test for alcohol problems.

This test asks questions about the problems associated with excessive use of alcohol.  Two “YES” answers indicate that a more extensive evaluation may be needed to determine the nature and extent of your problems with alcohol.

 

C – Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?

A – Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?

G – Have your ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?

E – Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning, and eye opener, to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?

 

If you answered “yes” to two or more of these items, please consider making a decision to empty your glass and fill your life with new purpose.  Contact a substance abuse program or counselor, or a qualified psychotherapist who is skilled in working with substance use concerns.  

Yes, you can.
