Yep @dreamcatcher when it is relied on not just once but on a regular basis than it is a concern, agreed.

What do you think are some signs that a friend may be drinking too much too often?
Starting to affect them psychologically or they become almost dependent (for example: 'I can't calm down without 3 glasses of beer' or 'I need to have a drink to survive the day').... if it's real bad, people may feel sick from not having it... ugh!

I think a glass of wine or a beer with dinner is nice but yeah definitly if they cant relax without it or are fidgety until they have it.. can be tell tale signs they are addicted. also if they spend all there money on it and go without other things like food or dont pay rent in time..- Mark as New

@dreamcatcher well yeah I have, with Dad, but thats not in the context you mean. Yeah with a mate I have, unfortunately I was the subject to his violence. I can't recommed much but stay away keep others away, don't talk to them unless you desperately have to.- Mark as New

@j95 I agree, I think unless they're a risk to themselves or others, it's best to avoid and let them calm down. Could be wrong, but that's what I'd do. 🙂

What are some signs that you or a friend might need to stop/slow down the drinking for the night?

@SJG You have an extra i, after the second 1.
What do you think are some signs that a friend may be drinking too much too often?
Uh... they might be showing some signs of depression and withdrawal. I'm not sure, they'll definitely be addicted. Will always be drinking.

Or they become interested in strange things like the windows or my blinds (last time I had mates over was weird!)

It sounds like they may have been on something other than alcohol @j95. But I could be wrong.
My entire life can be described in one sentence: It didn't go as planned and that's okay. ツ

@j95 Have you had to deal with a angry, drunk person before? Would you say it's better to confont them and try to help or just avoid them?

@N1ghtW1ng everybody has their own veiws/preferences, I honestly think being strong enough to say no or nah im not into instead of drinking to fit is a very very intelligent thing!- Mark as New

@j95 although it's not all bad if you are with family in a controlled environment for underage drinking. It's still not good but it's a little better. Just a smigde. Overseas though the age is 16 or something so they are much more lenient I guess.What are some signs that you or a friend might need to stop/slow down the drinking for the night?
Crossed eyes. Slurred speech. Walking into things. Constantly tripping. Downing a bottle of alcohol (vodka). Just a few I think. But I wouldn't know for sure.

Whenever one of my friends is doing shots i keep an eye on them, if they start stumbling and its not due to heels, or they are hanging out with people they normally wouldnt i usually get them a glass of water, or take them to the bathroom and pretend like i need there help (for ages)
