Wondering what your answers to the CAGE questions might mean, or how to bring them up with someone? The CAGE Alcohol Screening Workbook gives you a private place to answer four questions about lifetime experiences with drinking. Each Yes earns one point. A score of two or more is a positive screen that may warrant further discussion, not a diagnosis. A low score does not rule out a concern, and a Yes to the morning-drinking question is worth discussing even when the total is low.
The pack contains nine PDFs and 33 pages, with matching counts in A4 and US Letter. Start Here lays out a six-week path and safety notes. The questionnaire file includes the four items, scoring, and a worked example; 11 worksheets cover your result, reasons, triggers, doctor questions, small steps, and hard days. Four tracker pages offer score history, weekly check-in, habit grid, and review. The two-page Quick Reference has a scoring card and keep card. A four-page Guide explains the limits, and a three-page Clinician Guide supports professionals using the pages with adult clients. Credits and References names the instrument's author and sources.
Use the pages at your pace over six weeks, repeating a week or answering a fresh questionnaire copy when the path calls for it. Reprint marked pages as needed. You will have scores and reflections in your own words, a small next step, and questions to bring to a professional if you choose. This is educational self-reflection, not diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for professional care.
What you get
- Answer the four lifetime CAGE items and follow the scoring page with its worked example.

What it is not
For educational self-reflection only, not a diagnosis or treatment. The CAGE questionnaire was developed by John A. Ewing, University of North Carolina. Licence: personal use; professionals may print and reuse pages with their own clients, while wider distribution requires a separate licence.
Questions people ask
Is the CAGE questionnaire free, and what am I paying for?
The Guide describes CAGE as free to use and retake. This purchase is for the organized printable workbook pages: the scoring example, reflection worksheets, trackers, reference cards, reading guide, and professional guide. The pack's Credits page states personal-use licensing and allows professionals to reuse pages with their own clients.
How do I score the CAGE questionnaire?
The workbook assigns one point to each Yes answer and zero to each No, for a total from 0 to 4. It describes 0 to 1 as below the usual threshold and 2 to 4 as a positive screen that may merit further discussion, not a diagnosis. A Yes to the eye-opener item is worth discussing even if the total is low.
Can I print the CAGE workbook on A4 or US Letter paper?
Yes. The pack includes nine PDFs in both A4 and US Letter formats. Each file has the same page count in either size, for 33 pages total across the nine files. The questionnaire, score history chart, weekly check-in, and small-steps planner are among the pages marked to repeat.
