My Result: Low Risk
Yay! Your result shows that you are not addicted to alcohol. This is where your score puts you along with Americans:
Age |
Gender |
% of Americans who drink as much as you. |
| Above 30 | Male | 77% |
| Below 30 | Male | 47% |
| Above 30 | Female | 82% |
| Below 30 | Female | 66% |
The USDA recommends that adult males/females should not drink more than 14/7 alcoholic beverages per week. Based on your test results, it seems your drinking patterns are safe and unlikely to be injurious to your health. Keep it up.
While ideally, you should drink as less as possible under any circumstances, but you should never drink, if:
- You’re using certain medicines.
- You’re pregnant or actively trying to get pregnant.
- You’re driving, dealing with electrical equipment or operating heavy machinery.
- You have an empty stomach. Eating high protein before drinking makes sure your body absorbs alcohol slowly.
- You’re participating in any competitive activity.
