Read the following scenario and answer the questions.

Bill is 19 and grew up in a poor area of Boston where drinking is a very popular behavior. He, himself has been drinking heavily since he was 11 years old. He drinks almost every day, but when he is particularly anxious, he drinks until he passes out. Anxiety is a problem for him, particularly social anxiety when he is around people he doesn’t know very well.

His father and his grandfather were both alcoholics; the father drank himself to an early death when Bill was 14. His mother and older sister do not drink at all, and they have always told Bill that he is the family’s black sheep, the rebellious one who is destined to be like his father. His favorite weekend pastime is to go to the local bar and hang out with all of his friends. He has no friends that are abstinent from alcohol.

Using the biopsychosocial model as a guide, what do you think causes Bill‘s behavior? What biological, psychological, and/or social factors are influencing Bill’s behavior? Explain.
