Think You (or someone you know) Might Have a Drinking Problem?
The CAGE Test
- Have you ever felt you should Cut down on your drinking?
- Have people Annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
- Have you ever felt bad or Guilty about your drinking?
- Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover (Eye opener)?
With one "yes" it is possible that a problem exists;
more than one, it is highly likely a problem exists.
The CAGE test, developed by Dr. John Ewing. http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/Reports/trainingmanual/module_2.aspx

We could have been more aware of these behaviors
in our family. |
OUR DRINK talks about each question of the CAGE test and describes how we ignored the symptoms of addiction.
The book discusses other resources to help you understand more about the reasons you choose to drink, including:
- Information about the way you choose to drink
- The amount you drink and how it can impact your life
