Explanation:

Alcohol abusing refers to excessive or improper use of alcohol over time. Alcohol dependent means a physical and psychological need for alcohol. In withdrawal is when the body reacts after stopping alcohol use. Intoxicated means under the immediate influence of alcohol, showing symptoms like talking too loudly, slurring words, and being aggressive (picking fights). Since the description is about immediate effects after consumption, intoxicated fits best.
