The electronic Check-Up to Go, e-CHUG is a brief self-assessment that provides you with accurate, detailed and personalized feedback on your use of alcohol. The online alcohol self-assessment gives unbiased feedback about drinking. Based on your input, it gives a personalized drinking profile which includes calories consumed, costs, estimated BAC (blood alcohol content), risks, and comparisons to Fresno State campus norms. Local referrals and resources are provided. The program can be used as the basis for homework or classroom assignments. e-CHUG is important to all students, from non-drinkers to heavy drinkers.
