You are at your friend Kate’s birthday party. Kate’s parents are not home so some kids are drinking alcohol.
You decide to drink with them.
You are at the mall with some friends. James pulls out a pack of cigarettes and asks if you want one. You
decide to smoke a cigarette.
You are hanging out at a park with your teammates. Lisa pulls out a six-pack of beer to share with
everyone. You decide to drink a can of soda.
You invite your friend Tom to your house. When he arrives, you see him smoking. He asks if you want to
join him. You decide to smoke with him

Answer 1

The third situation: at the park you choose to drink a soda instead of drinking beer.
This shows abstinence — you are refraining from the risky behavior (drinking alcohol).
