TABLE 1.
The T-ACE21
| T | Tolerance: how many drinks does it take to make you feel high? |
| A | Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking? |
| C | Have you ever felt you ought to cut down on your drinking? |
| E | Eye-opener: have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover? |
Scores are calculated as follows: a reply of more than two drinks to the T question is considered a positive response and scores 2 points. An affirmative answer to the A, C, or E questions scores 1 point each. A total score of 2 or more points on the T-ACE is positive.
