Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Situational factors, such as the environment and social setting, can influence the effects of alcohol. In this case, being at the bar with friends may make drinking more pleasurable and stimulating for Wally compared to being at home. Option A may be a contributing factor, but it does not explain why Wally is more likely to enjoy drinking at the bar. Option D is not necessarily true for all individuals who drink at home or at a bar.
