Take that little survey/test thing and find out then post your scores!

I'd say 0.5, because my answer to question 1 is between the 0 and 1 answer.

"8 or more suggests a drink problem" 

I scored a gentleman's 14 and I don't have a problem

21, but this quiz isn't so accurate. I answered with the answers I'd answer during the school year. I've only gotten drunk twice since school ended. So, for instance, on question 2 I answered 10 because during the school year when I'd drink (on the weekends) I'd drink over 10 drinks. Likewise, I've been injured physically (falling, etc) so I answered yes but I mean people fall when they're sober too.

Yeah, that injured thing should ask "did you beat anyone's ass violently while drunk?"

9.  Have you or someone else been injured as a result of your drinking?

falling over a fence while trying to jump it because you're drunk or something similar isn't really a problem (and it's kind of funny at the time)...it's a problem when you become abusive or you're harming your family emotionally/financially/etc.

It's an indication of risky behavior (that you wouldn't otherwise take part in) because you are under the influence of alcohol.  It is also an indication of the extent to which the alcohol is affecting you (both in your ability to make decisions and in your coordination).  So I think it's a good question.

[CrAz3D]

What about hurting yourself while trying to twist off a non-twist-off beer cap?

I think the question's author intended violence and MAYBE extreme acts of stupidity, but not the basic just falling down things.  That's way too broad.

Well, loosely interpreting the questions gives me a 21. It says 8 and you have a problem, but that's obviously not true since I haven't been drinking since I left school and have had no withdrawals or even desires to drink. I'm going to the beach for the weekend and I'll drink there because I'll be in a party environment (at least I think they're having a party) but it's not something I feel I HAVE to do on a daily basis.

I got stopped at question 2.  I can't complete it; it does not have an answer that suits me.

I think if you don't drink alcohol its safe to say you're not an alcoholic. I'll have to check with Them though.

Ahh, the sweet, sweet sounds of cognitive dissonance.
