🗓 Today is National Alcohol Screening Day

Have you ever considered how your alcohol use may be affecting your health or daily life?

Today is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and make informed choices about your well‑being.

Why take an alcohol screening?
An alcohol screening is a brief, confidential questionnaire designed to help individuals better understand their relationship with alcohol. The screening is nonjudgmental and provides clear, evidence‑based information to support personal health and wellness.

Why alcohol screening matters:
- Even occasional alcohol use can affect sleep, mood, and overall health
- Early awareness can help prevent future health concerns
- Understanding personal risk supports informed decision‑making
- If concerns are identified, resources and support are available

Many individuals take alcohol screenings simply to learn more about their drinking habits and leave with greater clarity and confidence.

Take a few minutes for yourself today. The screening is free and confidential: https://alcoholscreening.org/
