Analysis of Six Years of Use of the “Alcoomètre,” an Online Tool for Self-Assessment of Alcohol Consumption Risks

The Alcohol Meter is an online tool on the alcool-info-service.fr website that offers a self-assessment questionnaire on alcohol consumption over the past week and a summary that allows users to compare their consumption to low-risk consumption guidelines and that of the general population, and to understand the associated long-term risks. Between 2019 and 2024, the Alcoomètre page was visited 8 million times, and 2.3 million completed self-assessment questionnaires were recorded.; On average, 41,000 self-assessment questionnaires were completed each month by users reporting at least one day of alcohol consumption during the past week, or approximately 1,300 questionnaires completed daily.; The number of completed self-assessment questionnaires is highly dependent on communication campaigns: an average of nearly 7,000 questionnaires per day were completed during national campaigns by Santé publique France, compared to 800 during periods without campaigns—a ratio of 1 to 9.; The profiles provided by users who reported having consumed alcohol in the past week are predominantly male (nearly two-thirds), and more than three-quarters exceed the guidelines for low-risk consumption (81%).; The average age of users is 38 years. The most represented age groups are 25–34 (25%) and 35–44 (28%), with a notable increase in the proportion of 18–24-year-olds over the study period (+11 percentage points between 2019 and 2024).
