Alcohol Abuse
When someone over consumes alcohol, the influence alcohol has on his or her behavior that may bring a social audience to perceive certain behaviors by the actor as deviant is obvious. But is the overconsumption of alcohol by an individual on a regular basis an individual problem or a social problem? And if we support the notion that the social and environmental circumstances, biological influences, and even genetic predispositions contribute to an individual’s actions, how should we then determine the importance of establishing free will and, ultimately, culpability?

Pharmaceutical Abuse (graded)
Inept parenting, disruptive parenting, harsh discipline, authoritarian parenting style, or simply a lack of social bonding are all thought to influence a child’s decision to participate in some form of antisocial behavior, illicit drug use being one of those behaviors. But in the face of adversity, some children resist the modeling behavior of their parents who lack appropriate parenting skills as well as the influence of their delinquent peers. How would you explain the decision by children who exhibit a resilient behavioral response not to use illegal substances, either pharmaceutical or street drugs, in the face of pressure to comply that comes in the form of modeling behavior by a family member, caregiver, or peer or as the mode of adaptation to social pressures that Merton titled retreatism?
