Sometimes people wonder: Do I drink too much? Am I
in control of my drinking? Am I setting myself up for
drinking-related problems? The following questions are
designed to help you identify drinking habits that may
cause problems for you. Answer honestly; no onebut you
will know the score.
1. Have you cut afternoon classes so you can party?
2. Have you missed morning classes because of a hangover?
3. Have you done poorly on an exam because you drank
too much the night before?
4. When drinking, have you ever done something for
which you were later sorry or embarrassed?
5. Have you ever "blacked out" while drinking
(not been able to remember things you said or did)?
6. Do you frequently drink until you are drunk?
7. Do you drink to get drunk?
8. Do you choose friends on the basis of how much
they drink?
9. Have you ever had problems with friends, family,
roommates, boy/girlfriend, college authorities, or
the law as the result of drinking?
10. Is drinking affecting your reputation?
11. Does it bother you when other people say you
drink too much?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions,
stop and think for a moment. You may be doing yourself some
harm. Maybe it's time to talk to someone, get some information.
Visit the Counseling Center and we will be happy to give
you confidential information and help you work through any
difficulties alcohol may be causing in your life.
A good rule of thumb to keep in mind:
What CAUSES a problem IS
a problem.
