friends help: my friends want to drink.

my friends want to drink.

i do not drink, however i will come with them to parties and such. last time in october things got bad. i came late and my friend was passed out on the couch and my other 2 friends were way out of it. the person who was having the party’s dad came home and it was up 2 me and my other sober friend to drag them out of the house. their parents obviously found out and grounded them. this saturday will be the first time they are allowed to sleepover my house. i thought it would be th four of us hanging out and having a good time. but no, there’s a party they want to go to. i really don’t think its a good idea. this is the first time their parents are trusting them in a while and they’re so quick to be willing to throw that away to drink. not to mention i could get in a bunch of trouble since they’re all coming back to my house. am i overreacting? or am i right to put my foot down and tell them if they’re going to the party then i don’t want them sleeping over?

Stick with your principles.

Don’t give in to peer pressure this early. Be an independent person!

I suggest you go to the party-but tell your friends you are going home at (whatever time you think is reasonable) and whoever still wants to stay over at yours has to come back with you then. Also tell them that you are not responsible for their actions-and warn them that they will not be staying over if they get really drunk. Give them a chance to prove themselves responsible, but, like linuxya says, you should stick with your principles.

Don’t let your friends tool you around. They are clearly very stupid and inexperienced drinkers, so just tell them you don’t trust them to go to the party. Tell them seriously that you refuse to be the one cleaning up after them all the time. If you invite them to the sleepover and they really are rude enough to want to go to a different party, just let them go, but don’t let them back into your house. They need to learn to accept the consequences of their stupid decisions.
