Justina's situation is the one where someone is using peer pressure, as they tell her to quit hanging around and threaten her with leaving so she will drink. joe's friends don't care if he doesn't or does drink, he is the one that decides they won't want him around if he doesn't, and martha's friends just tell her she is a bore for staying sober, not pressuring her to use ecstasy because being called a bore is not as serious as being threatened with leaving a friend group.
