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 80 asks whether you have had a hangover. It is the mildest of the alcohol consequence items and the one nearly everyone who has checked item 78 also checks.

Where people disagree about what counts

How bad the hangover had to be is undefined. A mild headache the morning after and a day spent unable to function both satisfy the item under its plain wording, and most takers do not draw a line.

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 80 fits with the items around it

Items 80 to 83 are the physical consequence run, escalating from a hangover to vomiting to blacking out. Item 84 then closes the block with the non-physical consequence — regret. The ordering is deliberate and mirrors the escalation patterns used in the first half of the checklist.

Item 79, before this one Faked sobriety to a parent or teacher? Item 81, after this one Drank alcohol before noon?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 80 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.
