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 81 asks whether you have drunk alcohol before midday. It is the timing item of the alcohol block, in the same way item 28 is the timing item of the intercourse run, and it is included as a marker of drinking outside ordinary social occasions.

Where people disagree about what counts

The item takes no account of context, so a brunch mimosa, a champagne toast at a morning wedding, and drinking alone at nine in the morning all satisfy it identically. Whether drinking that began the previous night and continued past midnight counts is the one open question, and most takers say no.

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 81 fits with the items around it

Item 81 interrupts the consequence run at 80 to 83, sitting between a hangover and vomiting. Its structural twin is item 28, which asks the same kind of time-of-day question about a completely different act.

Item 80, before this one Had a hangover? Item 82, after this one Thrown up from drinking?

How it affects the score

Every question has the same one-point effect. Checking item 81 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.

Questions about item 81

Does a brunch mimosa count for item 81?

Under the plain wording, yes. The item asks only about the time and takes no account of the occasion.

Does drinking from the night before count?

Most takers say no, reading the item as drinking that started in the morning rather than a session that ran past midnight.

Which other item asks about time of day?

Item 28, which asks about intercourse in the morning. Both are examples of the checklist generating a box from a circumstance rather than an act.
