I'm helpful
Now then, after learning, let's try an exercise on helping a friend. You've got a friend who's all boozed out for the umpteenth time at a party. People are getting really fucking sick of her antics, which are no longer funny. Oh, I mean, people are concerned about her health. Yeah, that's what I meant.
When would you talk with her about your concerns?
At the party while she's drunk, of course. That way, when she blacks out, she won't remember any of it and won't get mad at you. She's not going to listen to you anyway, so why bother?
Wrong? Well, fine, then. You won't have any friends.
Where would you talk with her about your conerns?
A crowded, public area. Geez, you don't want her to start blubbering. It's better to have the social pressure to keep her shut up. Besides, it's better if everyone can see what a nice person you are. It helps if you need to pick up a date.
Wrong again? Keh.
Who should be there?
Obviously, "Everyone who is willing to come." Hell, make a party out of it. Better yet, make a party with booze out of it. The irony alone should be enough to satisfy your ego. Wait, we're trying to help her?
Bah, what do they know.
What would you say?
"Don't call until you get some help." I am so fucking sick of hearing her bitch about her drunken antics. If she calls me again without getting help, I'll smash a bottle over her head!
Incorrect? Psshh. I vote 'no confidence' in AlcoholEdu. Don't call me until you get some help.
