Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Candace exhibited signs of substance intoxication, which is the acute effects of using a substance, in this case, alcohol. While Jason may not drink on the job, the fact that his driver's license has been suspended three times in the past two years for driving while under the influence of alcohol indicates a pattern of problematic alcohol use, which would be classified as substance use disorder.
