I am doing a research regarding alcohol consumption. Is there any validated questionnaire out there that can be used to assess the amount of alcohol consumed? It must be a respondent answered questionnaire.
Thank you very much in advanced.

You could use the WHO's AUDIT questionnaire. This includes measures of consumption, but has a broader focus, and is designed more for identifying people with (potentially) problematic patterns of alcohol use. It is available in a format for self-completion: whqlibdoc.who.int/hq/2001/who_msd_msb_01.6a.pdf
One problem with the AUDIT is that it does not specify the size / volume / alcohol content of "drinks". To get more accurate measures of recent consumption (in UK units) I have developed and used other measures taht I hav usd in online and paper self-adinistered surveys. Some information is available here:

... I would be happy to send copies of the actual measures used

Hi guys,
I also found something interesting online while looking at the references that might be helpful for some of you. It is an online calculator

Hi,
Just read the article Richard sent- excellent! Is there a validated tool/questionnaire that measures the amount of alcohol taken (exact amount) perhaps like a pamphlet or diary and if it should be taken daily or monthly
Thank you
Arvinder
Guys I just got one- it is from the NHS and is available free. Uploading one here for your use as well
I am actually doing a research linking a co-morbid to alcohol consumption (10 year cohort). Just wondering is there any validated questionnaire I can use to measure that. I plan to review patients three monthly and they should be able to record their drinks on every occasion so we can get an exact amount of the total consumption
Thank you
Arvinder
