Based on the following scenario, which TMC stage should Lucy be classified in? Lucy likes to go out with her friends and binge drink every Friday and Saturday night. Lately, she also binge drinks on Thursday nights and often one other day each week. Lucy doesn't see this as a problem since she still makes it to work and school. It's just how she has fun and unwinds, she reasons. However, her grades are beginning to slip and she was so hung over at work one day last week that she had to go throw up in the bathroom during her shift.

Based on the following scenario, which TMC stage should Lucy be classified in? Lucy likes to go out with her friends and binge drink every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and sometimes even more often. Lucy feels weird about all of this and how it is progressing in her life. She realized recently that her grades are slipping. Also, she has started to blackout while drinking and doesn't remember large portions of the night. This was particularly disturbing to her on one occasion when she vaguely remembers talking to a guy at a bar, but doesn't remember what happened after that. She thinks she may have a problem. She starts to think through what she should do and realizes that she is more likely to lose control when she drinks liquor because she gets drunk faster. She also likes beer so she decides to try to just stick to beer in the future, and to set a limit for herself on how many beer she can have. To further reduce temptation, she also has the idea that she can bring only a certain amount of cash with her on nights out and leave her cards at home.

Lucy likes to go out with her friends and binge drink every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and sometimes even more often. Lucy feels weird about all of this and how it is progressing in her life. With her grades slipping and several recent blackouts while drinking, she has started trying to limit herself. She won't do shots anymore and she has a limit of 4 beers per night, which she realizes is still a lot but is much less than her previous consumption of 2-4 shots plus 6-8 liquor based cocktails per night out. She plans to cut down further after a few months of adjustment.
