I have just got in soaking wet from trying to look after a mate you had too much to drink, just after he had found out that another friend of his has 'taken his girl' from behind his back after saying he wouldn't.

I hate dealing with unco-operative, deperessed, agressive drunks. I was the only sober one there so I had to take charge. I almost called the police just to have them look after him and make sure he gets home or at least put him in a cell for the night, some where safe.

Now I know why I don't drink, although this sort of thing could drive some one to drink. :headbang:

Hey! Stop hating on drunks. They're the primary source of my income!

No you did not. He was not your responsibility. Quit enabling him.

Good for you for not drinking. Now, quit playing "Mary marter." :rolleyes:

not all drunks are agressive. not all people become agressive when they are drunk.

Oh shut the hell up.

No you did not. He was not your responsibility. Quit enabling him.

I wasn't just going to leave him. He's a good friend I needed the peace of mind to know he was safe.

I know not all drunks are agressive, in fact some can be quite funny and mellow.

You could've just duct taped him to the bed and left him.

I tend to use a combination of a whip, a barstool, a cute little bunny, and a chaingun.

Getting drunk is cool.

So you enabled him. :rolleyes:

i'm not a agressive drunk ,i just want to kill all

i enjoy getting drunk. other don't seem to enjoy me getting drunk though...
people ask me how it's possible that my mind gets that much filthier when i'm drunk, considering how filthy it is when i'm sober

So you enabled him. :rolleyes:

Sorry, but I don't know what you mean. :confused:

So you enabled him. :rolleyes:

taking care of a troubled friend is not enabling, it's being a friend. enabling would be encouraging the guy to drink his sorrows away, or finding a bottle opener for him, or suggesting a chat over a few beers.

Getting drunk is fun. Being aggressive when you're drunk just fucks you up.

Sorry, but I don't know what you mean. :confused:

Enabling someone is making excuses for their behavior such as "his friend took his girl friend away from him."
Enabling someone is making excuses for their actions, "He got drunk because someone took his girlfriend away from him."
Enabling someone is telling them, "Oh, what you did is OK because someone took your girl friend away from you."
Enabling someone is not letting them take the consequences of their own actions, "Here, let me help you it isn't your fault you got drunk, it is his/her fault."
Enabling someone is taking care of them when you “almost called 911 instead of calling 911.”

I wasn't making excuses for him, he is a idiot and a fool and should never have taken it so far. However he is my friend and I will help him and not just abandon him.

Also why should I burden the emergancy services if I could cope with it?

Wait, so if you know someone and they get drunk, you let them drive (since you want to let them take the consequences of their own actions)?

Not even close to what happened. No comparison. :rolleyes:

According to the OP he was considering calling the police to,

make sure he gets home

As for being not close to what happened, well let's look at some strawmen you built:


Enabling someone is making excuses for their actions, "He got drunk because someone took his girlfriend away from him."

That's an explanation, not an excuse.


Enabling someone is telling them, "Oh, what you did is OK because someone took your girl friend away from you."

The OP did not say that.

Enabling someone is not letting them take the consequences of their own actions, "Here, let me help you it isn't your fault you got drunk, it is his/her fault."

Again, he didn't say "it isn't your fault you got drunk" at all. He simply acted like a friend. I'm not sure where you're getting this "enabler" stuff. I think you need to read before making such hasty judgements.
