How Sweden can help you drink alcohol better
Two months ago we announced the release of Alkoholprofilen, an online test designed to give Swedes a better overview of their drinking habits. The project was a great success and more than 110,000 people completed the test during the first month alone!
We are now delighted to let you know that we have released an English version of Alkoholprofilen – the Alcohol Profiler. If you had a hard time understanding the Swedish questions perhaps this will help you get a more honest alcohol profile.
Besides featuring the project in a case study, we also decided to create a short promo video - check it out below:

Man, I thought I could get away with taking the "ignorance is bliss" approach. The English version definitely shook me out of that mindset!
Don't forget to compare with your friends on Facebook! ;-)

For shame, doesn't seem to be working for me :(
I answer the first question and then it takes me back to the welcome screen. I've tried restarting my browser (and switching browser, too)
Oooh also weird, I switched off JavaScript and got the non-Flash version, which insisted on telling me I'm high risk even though I barely have anything to drink and told it as such. Hmm.

There are a few bugs that just popped up in the English version that will be fixed shortly. What browser, OS are you on folks?
We know if you choose the first option in the first question, it brakes easily for example.

Lots of bugs for me in IE7, slightly better in firefox, but I get a lot headers already sent errors. And what's more, it says I'm high risk and a heavy drinker which given I told it I only drink once a month and then very little doesn't make much sense.

Hi everyone, thanks for posting your feedback. Indeed, some bugs have popped up during the translation of the site, however they should be ironed out by now.
For those who have taken the test, I agree, it is indeed scary! But! Remember that the alcohol test is designed for the Swedish population which have different alcohol laws and tolerance than other countries!
Being an Australian, I knew I would be in the red zone so it was no surprise for me. :-) -

Hey, it's working better now, although when I've been ranked (one above bottom - yay!) then I check the detailed profile, it reads like the highest risk still. So there's still a bug or two in there :(

Personally I don't like alcohol and I will try to keep my kids away from it as well. Maybe you can follow my example.
