New CDC Tool to Check Your Drinking
Check your drinking. This quick assessment can help.

CDC has launched a new tool for adults to anonymously check their drinking, identify barriers and motivators for drinking less, and print or save a personalized change plan. This evidence-based tool is a free resource that can be used by adults or institutions. It was developed as part of the launch of the new Drink Less, Be Your Best campaign, which provides resources and support to help adults drink less.
