When using the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) tool, the PMHNP screens for alcohol use by asking which of the following questions?

How many drinking days do you have per week, what is the usual number of drinks per occasion, and what is the maximum number of drinks in the past month?

What type of alcohol do you drink, do you ever drink alone, and do you have a hangover after you drink?

Do you want help to stop drinking, are you able to go for a whole week without drinking, and do you drink in the morning?

Do you have a loved one who worries about your drinking, do you think you can stop on your own, and do you use drugs when you drink?
