So I thought I'd try this quiz. I already know the answer - any other B3tards willing to give it a go? If you try it click "I like this". How may other B3tards are also pissheads?
My result:
You answered 9 items out of 20 Yes.
Your score is 45%. According to the Office of Health Care Programs, Johns Hopkins University Hospital, developers of this screening quiz, if you answered as few as 3 of these questions with a Yes it is a definite sign that your drinking patterns are harmful and considered alcohol dependent or alcoholic. Since you answered more than 3 questions Yes you should seek an evaluation by a healthcare professional.

But then I don't drink, so I'm not sure why I clicked through all 20 questions.

You answered 16 items out of 20 Yes.
The only problem I have with alcohol wasn't asked - is there enough chilling in the fridge?

That'd explain why I'm living back at my mothers miserable as sin then!

I think you'll find the word you want is "enhancing"

this survey is bollocks because it fails to differentiate between past behavior and current behavior. For example, I've drunk so much I've blacked out, but not for about 6 years.

it's assuming that all questions are equally weighted too.
i drink sometimes when i'm shy, but i wouldn't' class that as the same wieght as "have you been hospitalized from drinking"

but I reckon anyone who was ever 16-18 will answer at least 5 of those with a yes if they're honest.

wtf? efficiency in what? energy efficiency? working efficiency? do I keep leaving the tap on?
also: in the last 12 months I've had less than 30 units; I've never been a big drinker. but I answered yes to 4 of those questions so now apparently I should go to my GP and ask to be investigated for alcoholism. bullshit.
As was said up there^^ this only works if the questions are equally weighted, and they clearly aren't.
