Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the frequency of risky drinking among a general urban population survey in South Africa with the help of Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C) scores, CAGE (Cut down, annoyed, guilty, eye-opener) scores and compare scores with calculated risky drinking in terms of weekly alcohol consumption or heavy episodic drinking. This study showed a greater sensitivity of AUDIT to CAGE.-
