Answer 1

The environmental setting affects a person's response to a drug.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point being illustrated here is that the environmental setting affects a person's response to a drug. John's experience with drinking beers in different social settings resulted in contrasting emotions. This shows that the environment in which a person consumes a drug can influence their emotional state and overall response to the drug.
