Answer 1

People's expectations of alcohol's effects and their beliefs about the appropriateness of using it to cope with stress play a major role in alcohol abuse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The alcohol abuse varies from individual to individual due to their various beliefs and effects which they deemed fit.

For example, someone passing through financial challenges might decide to cope with the stress by taking 4 bottles of alcoholic drink which he believed was never an abuse (due to his belief) whereas another individual would take only a bottle of alcoholic drink and become intoxicated which on the long run becomes an abuse as it progresses further.
