Jessica Tells Everyone That She Is a Social Drinker and Does

Jessica tells everyone that she is a social drinker and does not have a problem with alcohol. Jessica has drinks with her colleagues every evening at 5:00 p.m. at the bar on the first floor of their office building. She seems to know how much she can tolerate, as she is able to walk home each evening safely. Then, one weekend, Jessica's friends unexpectedly show up at her house with several bottles of her favourite alcohol and the drinking begins. To everyone's surprise, Jessica passes out and they cannot revive her. Jessica had the same number of drinks she usually has at the bar, so why did she pass out this time?

A) Her tolerance decreased resulting in compensatory responses.
B) Compensatory responses under compensated for the drinking in the new environment.
C) Compensatory responses were not cued to activate due to the different surroundings.
D) Her tolerance continued to increase resulting in withdrawal when she only drank her normal amount of alcohol.
