The posted 20 questions is NOT intended to serve as a scientific measure of an alcohol problem. It is just a “rule of thumb”, a layperson’s yardstick to flag a possible problem. This is just one such tool. There are many others of similar value. Ultimately, the evaluation by a professional in the addictions field will be more reliable and definitive.
Regarding your pronouncements about those attending Al-Anon, there are many, many good jokes about them (many quite similar to the humor about baalei teshuvah). There are plenty of people who base their behavior on lack of knowledge and on misinformation. The family member of the alcoholic has been traumatized or otherwise negatively affected by the drinking problem. Having been sensitized, it is quite common to become supervigilant about the consumption of alcohol, even through shampoo. Some education from a recognized expert should help alot in calming these fears that are being expressed irrationally.
