How AUDIT-C scores are interpreted

Score	Result	What it suggests
0–2	Low-risk alcohol use	Your drinking pattern appears to be within low-risk limits. If you have any concerns about your alcohol use, a brief discussion with a healthcare provider can provide guidance.
3–4	At-risk alcohol use	Your drinking pattern suggests you may be at risk for alcohol-related problems. This is an important conversation to have with a healthcare provider. Effective treatments and support are available if you want to make changes.
5–12	High-risk alcohol use	Your drinking pattern suggests a higher risk for alcohol-related health problems. This does not mean you have an alcohol use disorder, but it is important to discuss these results with a healthcare provider. Many effective treatment options are available, and seeking help is a sign of strength.
