The criteria for hazardous drinking were based on the NIAAA criteria. AUC of the ROC curve were calculated to evaluate availability and cut off scores for hazardous drinking of AUDIT-K, AUDIT-C and AUDIT3. Results ： In AUDIT-K, suggestible cut off score for screening hazardous drinking based on the NIAAA criteria was 11 for males and 7 for females. AUDIT-C and AUDIT3 also available for detecting hazardous drinking. And suggestible cut off scores of AUDIT-C and AUDIT3 for hazardous drinking were 7 and 3 for males and 6 and 3 for females.
