Drinker Inventory of Consequences (DrInC) Feedback Summary

The Drinker Inventory of Consequences is a self-report assessment of drinking related consequences. Social Responsibility taps role-fulfillment repercussions that are observable by others. These include work/school problems (missing days, poor quality of work, being fired or suspended), financial indiscretion, getting into trouble, and failing to meet expectations. Impulse Control is a reasonable but imperfect description of the content of these 12 items. These include the following sequelae of overdrinking: exacerbation of other substance use (smoking, drug use, overeating), impulsive actions and risk-taking, physical fights, driving and accidents after drinking, arrests and trouble with the law, and inflicting injury on others or damage to property. The Physical subscale contains items that reflect adverse physical states resulting from excessive drinking. Included are both acute and chronic effects of overdrinking. The items query hangovers, sleeping problems, and sickness; harm to health, appearance, eating habits, and sexuality; and injury while drinking. Take a look at your own scores for these items above.
