Are you drinking too much? Take the test!I got a five.
I'm not sure about alcohol units. I found a site which said that an alcopop/glass of wine or a beer is generally 2 units, while a spirit with a mixer is one.

For question 2 do they mean typical day you are drinking or typical day overall because that could be a zero or a 4 for me depending on whether it is Monday or Saturday ya know?
