BMC has one question that identifies if you abuse alcohol. The question is not "do you add rice to your mash" surprisingly..

Ok so... not the BMC we usually talk about, but I found it amusing that the acronym overlapped.
Single Question Can Identify Unhealthy Alcohol Use In Patients
The NIAAA recommends a single-question screen for unhealthy alcohol use. The recommended question asks, "How many times in the past year have you had X or more drinks in a day?" (where X is 5 for men and 4 for women). While similar single-question screens have been validated in various settings, the NIAAA recommended screening test had not been validated in the primary-care setting. BMC researchers attempted to validate this version of the screening question in a sample of primary-care patients.
