Explanation:

• Join a support group: Support groups provide peer support and guidance for behavior change, which is helpful for Dylan to stop his problematic drinking behavior.
• Set goals for himself: Setting goals (e.g., reducing drinking, not partying excessively) gives Dylan a clear direction to work towards changing his behavior.
• Recognize his triggers: Identifying what causes him to engage in the partying and heavy drinking (like friends, weekend routines) helps him avoid or manage those triggers.
• Stop drinking altogether: Since his behavior has become a problem, completely stopping drinking is a valid step to change the behavior.
• Try drinking wine instead: This does not address the problem of excessive drinking (just changes the type of alcohol) and is not a helpful step to change the problematic behavior.

Answer:

• join a support group
• set goals for himself
