You are a substance use counselor treating Joe, a 19-year-old collegefreshman. His mother brought Joe to see you after he recently broke both his arms while intoxicated. After speaking with you for a while without his mother present, Joe divulges that he broke his arms after he fell down the stairs while intoxicated. Joe says it was just an accident, and that he doesn’t believe he has a drinking problem. He says he ordinarily drinks much less than his peers, and only parties on the weekends. He says he is just trying to enjoy college like everyone else, and make new friends. After speaking with you for a little while longer, he notes that his grades have suffered a little bit. This is mostly because he is having trouble staying awake to study and getting up for his morning classes. To combat this problem, he and his friends consume energy drinks to remain alert during the week and on the weekends while at parties. s 1.
