Derrick was very excited about college as a freshman. His biggest concern was fitting in. During his first semester, he was introduced to the social game of "beer pong" and found that being a member of the dorm team helped him gain acceptance. Now, Derrick enjoys "beer pong" every weekend. So far, there have been no negative consequences. How would you classify this behaviour or the basis of what you know?

Based on the information provided, Derrick's behavior falls under substance use as he is engaging in casual, recreational drinking without any negative consequences so far. Substance abuse, intoxication, and dependence would imply more severe and problematic patterns of behavior with negative consequences, which is not the case for Derrick at this time.
