Explanation:

To determine alcohol abuse, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Having a couple of drinks at social gatherings is normal social drinking, not abuse.
• Option B: Excitement about trying a new drink is a normal interest, not abuse.
• Option C: Needing more drinks to feel the same effect (tolerance) is a sign of alcohol dependence/abuse, as the body adapts to alcohol, requiring higher amounts for the desired effect.

Answer:

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