DUI findings

Jeffrey T. is a 27-year-old man who has presented for care after being required to do so by the county court. He was involved in a car accident, and while he was not at fault for the accident, routine blood alcohol screening revealed that he was driving while intoxicated. He is a bit resentful at being required to attend therapy; he is vocal that his driving was not impaired and that he can function normally even after drinking what others might consider excess amounts of alcohol. His wife confirms this; they both admit what began as one or two beers after work a few years ago has evolved to where he now drinks at least a 12 pack of beer nightly. Regardless, they both confirm that he never “seems drunk” and this does not interfere with his job or fulfilling his family functions. Jeffrey’s ability to function normally despite high blood alcohol is likely a result of: 
A. Dependence 
B. Abuse
C. Adaptation 
D. Addiction
