What “Drank alcohol?” means

Item 76 on the 100-question Rice Purity Test reads “Drank alcohol?”. Here is what the wording covers, where readers reasonably disagree about it, and exactly how much it moves your score.

Adult and sensitive content

The full checklist is intended for adults aged 18 and over and includes explicit topics. You may leave any item unchecked, exit the test, or delete saved checks. An unchecked item is scored the same whether the experience did not occur or you preferred not to answer.

What the question is asking

Item 76 opens the alcohol block by asking whether you have drunk alcohol. It sets no threshold, so a sip at a family meal counts the same as anything else, which is why it is one of the most commonly checked items on the whole checklist.

Where people disagree about what counts

The only genuine question is whether a taste as a child counts, and under the plain wording it does — the item asks about the experience, not about the circumstances. Religious sacramental wine sits in the same category and is usually counted for the same reason.

The test is self-scored and nobody else ever sees your answer, so the only thing that matters is applying one reading consistently across the whole checklist.

How item 76 fits with the items around it

Item 76 is the base of the alcohol run at 76 to 84, the longest single-subject block in the second half of the checklist. The eight items that follow it each add a condition — a game, intoxication, concealment, and five different consequences.

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 76 subtracts one point from the starting score of 100. Leaving it unchecked subtracts nothing, and no item on the checklist is weighted more heavily than any other.

Final score = 100 − total checked boxes

The final number never identifies this answer or any other individual answer — it is a count, so it discards which items were selected the moment it is calculated. Read the full scoring guide or look up an exact result on the 0–100 score chart.
