Do you or a loved one have a problem with alcohol? The CAGE questionnaire is a commonly used way of helping someone identify a potential problem. The name of the questionnaire comes from its four questions. Ask yourself the following questions to determine if you or a loved one may have a problem with alcohol:

  • Have you ever felt you ought to Cut down on your drinking?
  • Do you get Annoyed at criticism of your drinking?
  • Do you ever feel Guilty about your drinking?
  • Do you ever take an Early-morning drink (eye-opener) to get the day started or eliminate the “shakes?”

If you answer yes to even one of these questions, you or your loved one may have a problem with alcohol. Talk to your primary care provider (PCP) if you feel you or a family member may have an alcohol problem.
