What To Do When Your Friend Gets Too Trashed
Louis Agudelo

We've all been there before. You're at a party with some friends, and everyone's having a good time. It's all great and fun, until someone gets a little bit too into their good time, so to speak. We've probably all been on both sides of this, maybe one night you're the one feeling yourself, and the next you're the designated babysitter. There's only one side that you can really be in control of, and that's when you're in the not-so-favorable position of baby sitter.

It can be a pain, that's for sure, but once you've assumed the role, you've got a job to do. Your friend is in a baaad spot, and needs your help if and when things get any worse. The first thing you're going to want to do, is keep a close watch on them. You don't want to hover over them just yet, because they might not be entirely trashed, and you don't want to make a spectacle of your friend. Trust me, they'll take care of embarrassing themselves just fine, they don't need your help in that department.

If you've been keeping a close enough watch on them, you can see how much worse they've gotten with time and more partying. You'll want to start refilling their cup with water instead of Coke and rum or beer. Hopefully if they can manage to get that water down, it'll help them sober up. Chances are high that if they're bad enough to fight you on drinking water, they're probably having a really hard time accepting that they're night is probably toast. Don't fight them, just finesse.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO YOU POINT OUT TO THEM, OR ANYONE ELSE HOW BEYOND GONE YOUR FRIEND IS. DON'T BE THAT GUY. It's mortifying, and if your friend is at the point where doing this crosses your mind, chances are that it's going to upset them, a lot. So either they're going to start crying, or try fighting you, depending on the type of drunk they are. You don't want that either.

What you do want is to get them somewhere safe. Get a friend or two to help you walk/carry your drunken buddy over to a couch, bed, or the backseat of a car to get them home. The most important thing now is that they're comfortable, not breaking anything, or themselves. Once they're somewhere comfy get them some more water and a trash can to throw up in if they have to, they'll appreciate it in the morning.

Last, but most certainly not least, take pictures. Take a lot of pictures. You're going to need to document this episode, because the person who's hammered isn't very likely to remember anything from the night before, and they might want to know what got them to the spot they're in now. Not to mention how hilarious it's going to be the morning after to look back on.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
