Alcohol affects bariatric patients differently. It reaches your bloodstream faster, peaks higher, and the risk of developing a problematic relationship with alcohol is significantly higher after surgery -- particularly after gastric bypass. This tool uses the AUDIT-C, a validated screening questionnaire, to help you understand where you sit. It takes less than a minute.
The AUDIT-C is a validated screening tool used in clinical settings to identify alcohol use that may be harmful. A score on this tool is not a diagnosis. Results are entirely private and stored only in your browser. If you are concerned about your alcohol use, please speak to your GP or bariatric team. Effective support is available and you will not be judged.
