Question

Derrick was very excited about college as a freshman. His biggest concern was fitting in. During his first semester, he was introduced to the social game of "beer pong" and found that being a member of the dorm team helped his gain acceptance. Now Derrick enjoys "beer pong" every weekend. So far, there have been no negative consequences. How would you classify this behavior or the basis of what you know?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Substance use.

Step-by-step explanation:

Substance use can be described as the individual's use of certain substances that have certain physiological and psychological effects.

These substances are commonly known as drugs and they come in a variety of types. Human beings all over the world use drugs both medically and recreationally.

Certain drugs are legal and others are illegal, and its use can be problematic or non-problematic.

Substance use becomes problematic when the normal functioning of the individual gets impaired and leads to adverse consequences to his well being, both physically and mentally.

In this particular case, Derrick's use of alcohol is yet to be problematic because so far there have been no negative consequences to his substance use.

In conclusion, Derrick's behavior can be classified as a non-problematic substance use.
