This is an example of substance abuse, which refers to the misuse of any substance, including alcohol, that has negative consequences for the user's physical, social, or psychological well-being. While the student's behavior does not necessarily indicate chemical dependency or addiction, it is still considered substance abuse as it occurs on a regular basis and has the potential for harm. Anomie refers to a state of normlessness or social disconnection, and is not relevant to this scenario.
