I know the situation. For your friend's sake, don't make a habit out of always being the most out-of-control one. I very nearly lost my best friend because every time we'd go out, he'd be completely ****faced and I'd have to deal with him. He's better now (maybe cause we're in our mid 20's now) but sometimes I'll catch a flash of how he used to be. The worst would be when we would try to talk to girls and he'd say something utterly retarded in his drunken stupor that I would have to cover for, it got so tiresome...
