cmotherofpirl Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 If things get that out of hand you call the kid's parents. You are not in the position to handle such drunk kids. Its better to have a live friend who is pissed at you , then to explain to a parent why their kid died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Sarcastic, I'm sure I wouldn't have done nearly so well as you did that night. But what about you? The getting drunk intentionally is a mortal sin, and so I am sorry for your friends. But you have other duties besides friendship. One of which, as for all Catholics, is to avoid bad companions and the near ocassion of sin. I hope there is a good trusted priest you can speak to about this, because I don't know all of the situation. God bless you, you would've called his parents, but they're 200 miles away! Lord Jesus, help! This is what I mean...this poor child is 200 miles from his parents, need there be anything else to make him want to, or simply [i]be able [/i]to now, get drunk? I get it, you're one of the few anchors he has. Are you male or female? Somehow that seems to make a difference of an intimate party gathering and all the rest. I'm not implying anything bad, but if you're female, there are other potential problems (BIG) with this whole scenario. This situation is too big for one person to handle. So I'm praying you get some Godly counsel QUICK...because unless your friends leave you or you leave them, it sounds like this [i]will[/i] come up again. The weekend is only five days away... If you don't personally know a priest, is there someone you admire online, that you can simply write to? How about Fr. Pontifex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazzan Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I've been "smashed" to the point of vomiting quite a few times, not that I'm proud of it but I got some great memories out of it. Let me tell you the most important thing when you have drunk mates around is to stay by their side. That's because when you or your mates are drunk you start to think irrationally and do stupid things, like dodge cars and get into fights, stupid things like that. Quite a few times actually after a night out drinking I've had to drive mates home thinking I'm sober but when I'm driving it takes a passenger to help me realise I'm on the wrong side of the road, LOL. That's not funny, just stupid, cause it puts your life, the mates lives and other lives on the road at RISK, and that's the stupidest thing you can do, just for a laugh. So those are the sorts of things that happen when you're drunk, so it's important to stick by your mates and MAKE SURE they don't do anything too stupid! Another thing getting drunk to the point of vomiting isn't a pleasant experience. This sickness you feel is horrible, and you feel like cr.ap the next day. It affects your body and mind, like lessens your fine motor skills and ability to think quick, and these affects can last for days, without you even knowing! These days though, I just drink to the point of feeling buzzed or tipsy and in my experiences I can tell you this is the best way to enjoy alcohol.

picchick Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I have never been drunk and I have never see other ppl drunk where I would need to help them but I do have something to add. The whole scary issue. It won't be scary the next time. You will know what to do and somewhat what to expect. When caring for my grandpa with alzheimers, I was scared to do certain things. I know this souds stupid, but things like having to take out/put in his teeth. As a grandkid, I never expected having to do that. It shocked and scared me a little. But the next time I had to do it, it wasn't so bad. It was more routine. As phazzan says, stick by your friends and protect them cuz they WILL do stupid stuff under alcohol. I always pray for my phatmass pham so you are always included. God Bless, Pax out and prayers Meg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach_cube Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 First of all there is so much that can possible go wrong with any binge drinking situation. That was waht your friends were really doing, not having a drink over a meal, but drinking just to drink. Your friends possibly thought it would be cool to see how much they can drink. Often this can lead to a competition of one-up-menship. Often people do something like binge drinking because they have heard of other people's "fun" experiences. But there is so much that can go wrong. First, think of the situation you are putting your parents in. If something goes wrong your parents will be prosecuted for "hosting". In my state (PA) a mother was sent to jail for 5 years because her daughter had a party with 5 friends, one of them got behind the wheel, crashed, and died. The mother was found guilty even though she was unaware of the booze, because she failed to check up on the teens in her basement. People do stupid stuff when drunk, and you might not be able to prevent it. Many people die when they choke on their own vomit from a night of binge drinking, so you mihgt think they are out of danger after they have passed out or gone to sleep, but there is still danger. I don't think that it is ever wise to allow yourself the excuse of doing something because others have done it, or because you are simply bored and want something to do. There are plenty of fun things that you can do that will not jeopardize your life and that of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'm 17. the two guys in question are 18, the roomate of dave is 19 (who had nothing to drink) and there was a sober 16 year old and another guy my age. thanks pham for giving me all this advise. its good to have people that can give me advice, whether they are my age or adults, or been in my position or not. i think i know what im going to do about all this, and if it doesnt work, you guys have given me enough back up plans that i can keep after these guys. so now i cant use running out of ideas as an excuse to be discouraged from giving them the help they need. thank you and God bless you all.
