Jasmine
Erikson’s stage as Jasmine indicates in the post, is divided into three main stages. In the young adulthood stage, most of the people are concerned with relationships and falling in love, as such, issues to do with commitment and establishing a sense of identity take center stage (Davis & Clifton, n.d.). The middle adulthood stage is associated with persons that are trying to care for another person. In this stage the element of parenting is also crucial, in connection to taking care of another person. Adulthood, as Jasmine indicates, is the last stage and is associated with accomplishments (Boundless, 2016).
Stephanie
As Stephanie indicates in the post, at the young adulthood stage between 19 and 40 years, most of the people will display elements of risky behavior. At the same time the young adults will also display aspects of isolation versus solidarity and intimacy (Davis & Clifton, n.d.). It is also common, for this age to seek companionship (McLeod, 2013). In the post Stephanie also points to the middle adulthood being a stage where they most people stagnate in a generativity versus self-absorption (Boundless, 2016). This is a stage where people take on responsibilities, such as raising a family. In the adult stage, most of the people will be involved in reflections about their life (Davis & Clifton, n.d.).
Jenny
Jenny brings on a rather different approach with the young adults’ stage, indicating that, at this point people will try to establish freedom and launch their financial freedom. Relationships at this stage also tend to play a major role, as young adults try out various connections and relations before settling. The post does not however, differentiate clearly between the three groups (Boundless, 2016).

Jasmine
The post indicates correctly; alcohol does have some impact on the nutrition of a person in their adulthood. Persons that have developed alcohol dependence may from time to time fail to eat the required nutrients quotient, which in turn affects their health (Rail, 2014).
Jenny
Jenny in her post also rightly mentions that alcohol and smoking are not good for one’s health. As such the element of eating well and smoking or drinking alcohol is counteracting the intended health benefits (Hart, Davey Smith, Gruer, & Watt, 2010).
Christina
Smoking and drinking alcohol have an effect on the health of a person as one develops and grows. According to Christina, eating health and still smoking is going to have negative impacts on the body. What people eat or drink, according to Christina, has a direct impact on their body; which is true (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 2016).
