Which of following is TRUE regarding Carl's use of substances?
Carl is a junior in college. Over the last 12 months, he has spent his weekends drinking alcohol and playing poker.

He then takes Valium so that he can sleep during the day and be rested for the next night's game.

Carl boasts that he can drink more beer now than he could when he first came to college without becoming as intoxicated or having a hangover the next day. He dismisses the risks associated with mixing alcohol with other drugs like Valium, stating that only people who don't know what they are doing have problems.
