Explanation:

To determine alcohol abuse, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Having a couple of drinks at social gatherings is typical social drinking, not abuse.
• Option B: Excitement about trying a new drink is normal curiosity, not abuse.
• Option C: Needing more drinks than usual to feel the effect (tolerance) is a sign of alcohol abuse, as the body adapts and requires higher amounts, indicating a problematic pattern.

Answer:

C. Rashelle needs more than the usual number of drinks to feel high.
