Does my friend have an addiction?

• Your friend drinks more than 14 units of alcohol a week (one unit is equal to a 25 ml spirit shot).
• Sometimes my friend can’t remember what happened last night when he drank alcohol or after that.
• My friend can’t work or misses meetings because he is intoxicated or has a hangover.

Test

You can take the AUDIT test by the World Health Organization and assess your level of addiction (or share it with your friend).
