    Scores for each question range from 0 to 4, with the first response for each question
    (eg never) scoring 0, the second (eg less than monthly) scoring 1, the third (eg
    monthly) scoring 2, the fourth (eg weekly) scoring 3, and the last response (eg. daily
    or almost daily) scoring 4. For questions 9 and 10, which only have three responses,
    the scoring is 0, 2 and 4 (from left to right).
    A score of 8 or more is associated with harmful or hazardous drinking, a score of 13
    or more in women, and 15 or more in men, is likely to indicate alcohol dependence.
