The CAGE Questionnaire is a simple tool that allows for quick screening for the signs of alcoholism. The name CAGE comes from the acronym of the initial letters of the key words for each question - C = Cut down, A = Annoyed, G = Guilty, E = eyeopener (early morning drink).
The CAGE questionnaire is often used by general practitioners and family doctors as a screening tool for signs and symptoms of alcoholism. Although it may look to be short and crude it has a remarkable degree of accuracy, particularly in the higher scoring ranges.
Try the test for yourself. Just click in the yes or no boxes for each question. When you are satisfied with your answers, click on submit and another page will open with an interpretation of the CAGE scores. This will tell you the probability of being an alcoholic according to your score, and a table of the aggregated scores of others for comparison.
Your scores and the interpretation are completely confidential
