Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit

Are you at risk of injuries or other problems related to alcohol? Find out by asking yourself the following questions: ---Test

Am I under the legal drinking age (19 years of age in Ontario), and using alcohol?
Do I ever drink and drive?
Do I ever ride in a vehicle with a driver who has been drinking?
Do I ever drink before or during sports or other physical activities?
Do I drink at work or school?
Have I ever been in a fight or argument during or after using alcohol?
Have I ever been sick because of drinking?
Has anyone ever told me that I drink too much alcohol?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you are putting yourself and others at risk! Being at risk means you are exposed to danger, loss, injury, or other problems. The more yes answers, the higher your risk. Try to work toward lowering your risk.

If you or someone else needs help for an alcohol or substance use problem see Where to Get Help from the Alcohol and Substance Use list of topics.
