Replies Anonymous Posted at 11:33 am on Nov. 20, 2008 i started drinking when i was 11...got really into the party scene my freshman year (i was 13...) and then came the guys...i went through the most basic forms of trying to avoid the problems and in the end, all it did was make me repress the real issues and when i got hit with reality...i lost most of my friends because of it, i closed myself off from my family, i became the slut in the group....no one was there to help me back up in school and in life basically...i got kicked when i was down by the people who partied with me, the people who i thought understood me better than i did....there's gonna come a point in your friend's life that he's gonna reach that breaking point and i just hope you're someone that'll help him back up on his feet...until then just steer him to understand the reality of the situation he's in.... The Wolfhound Posted at 11:30 am on Nov. 20, 2008 U should introduce weed to him :-P Joking. You should tell him it's the matter of your friendship switchfoott052 Posted at 11:30 am on Nov. 20, 2008 he needs help. wont he hang out with you instead of doing that stuff? if not i'd report him to the police when u know he's drunk. it might help and it might not. they wont tell him who turned him. does ur friend know that ur concerned? pm me if u want. all my friends including me have the same problems theboxman Posted at 11:30 am on Nov. 20, 2008 tell him you have this new drink that will get him really wasted.  Then give him bitters (it is a little bottle of spice for drinks), mint, rootbeer and if you have it a touch of peanut flour.  Then tell him it has either PGA in it or burdon but that it tastes like a rootbeer float. He won't be able to taste the liqour, that is not really in there, and maybe after a while he will figure out he does not need it Neilap Posted at 11:29 am on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from Crackbuddy at 11:27 am on Nov. 20, 2008 why dont YOU take him out and have a show him a fun night without drinking? With or without sex ofcourse.. Lulz lostwitness Posted at 11:28 am on Nov. 20, 2008 Drinking is just a symptom of the emotional chaos at his home. Try and be emotionally supportive and go do something funner than drinking with him that is equally distractive if you wanna be a good friend.
