You have to call 911!!!
Under age or NOT .. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO HIM YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!!!
Your body gets rid of alcohol through the lungs.. and he may be having a reaction!!!
His parents love him and would rather have him alive.. He will be forgiven

Question by Sandra: Everything has changed with my friends since i married! HELP!?
I am a newlywed and got married to my husband whom i was dating for 3 years. We decided to elope as my family & friends didn’t agree with me getting married to a rich Portuguese man of my dreams & didnt want to really help me at all, whicle my husband was away. He treats me like i am the only person in the world that matters & to him nothing is ever good enough for me and i love him so much, i can not imagine my life without him. He wants me to move to Portugal as he is working there at the moment and he normally travels for work so he wants me with him permanently. I hate when i am not with him, i am totally head over heals with him. My best friend was always there for me and i was there for him when he was battling coming clean from heroin. We grew up together and as my mom is a junkie & my dad is in prison and i am an only child, he was the only real family i had as well as my close friends. They hated the fact that i was going to move away and get married, everyone of them had a opinion about it and it is driving me crazy. When i said i got married they where all in shock and then said they couldn’t believe i got married without them being there.It feels like they can do what they like but i cant & i was always there for them. I feel like i have drifted away from my best friends but i cant stand anyone who talks crap about the man i love, he is my everything. How do i deal with this, i don’t want to leave things on bad terms when i go.
Thanks

It happens.
Even if you had been on good terms and married with a big wedding and reception involving all things would have changed. Marriage changes people. You move forward in life.
Let them all know you are happy, you have made you decision. Ask them to accept it. Let them know you will be on Facebook if they want to keep in touch.

It’s going to take a long time for this to heal. You can’t fix it before you leave. The only way to prove to them that you did the right thing is to live your life and make the marriage work. Go to Portugal. Try to keep in touch with your friends. If they’re true friends, they’ll stay in touch and your relationships will heal.

My friends do drugs and I’m not comfortable? Please read first.?
May 4th
Question by SilenceBroken: My friends do drugs and I’m not comfortable? Please read first.?
I’m the person who goes to concerts, dances, has a good time, and doesn’t care what people think. I’m also a band geek but outside of school I’m very social, I meet new people, and am always on the go. I’m 14, (girl) and my band friends at school do NOT like concerts, let alone the music I do. (they listen to classical, jazz, pop where as I listen to filthy dubstep, techno, hard rap, metal, rock, stuff like that) so of course I can’t go to concerts with them since they aren’t allowed to and wouldn’t want to. They are really boring and only sit at home and play their instrument (no joke) So my friends outside of that are the ones that like my music, go to concerts, and know how to have a good time. The only thing is that they all drink, smoke weed, cigarettes, and pop pills. (I only smoke the herb occasionally) I’ll end up doing some drugs in my lifetime, but not now. They’re my age, maybe a year or two older, and I don’t want to be around that! My family has been a group of raging alcoholics and my uncle has been a heroin junkie since forever. I don’t want to give up my love for music and concerts, but I don’t want to be alone. What do I do?

Answer by d_marie_n
She may ask her doctor about Chantix….they were originaly made for smokers but they are finding now that it helps with a lot of other addictions as well…possibly even gambling! It’s awesome that you are sticking by her side instead of giving up on her. Keep up the good work. Also…try to find alternate activities to occupy her time and mind so she’s not thinking about alcohol all the time.

How many parents don’t let their kids have friends over?
Jan 10th
I am currently enrolled in a doctoral program at a major American university, and am seriously worried about one of my fellow students (call her Shelley). She is extremely caring and affectionate. Like, whenever she sees (in a casual, social setting) someone who has a sick relative or loved one, she is quick to ask how the latter is doing, openly showing support and concern for both parties. Or, when she sees drunken partygoers on her way home from campus, she often looks out for them (esp. when they appear distressed) and worries about them getting home safely. Being good-looking and very girlie, as well, Shelley seems like one who could have been the most popular girl in school, have an active social life, and be the type of friend everyone dreams of having. She could probably make a great girlfriend too, but that’s kind of beside the point, because she’s never dated before and isn’t very into that now. But, unfortunately, Shelley doesn’t have very much of that, because, as she confided to me last year, when me and her were both new, she has survived a horrible form of emotional abuse as a child, there mere thought of which makes her cry. It turns out that her parents (who are clean, well-educated [both have Ph D's], well-to-do – they live in a paid-off 4BR suburban home in an upscale area, free from drug and alcohol abuse, or any other unhealthy habits – much like their daughter) have virtually never let her invite friends over, go places with them, attend slumber parties, make phone calls in privacy (her mother used to eavesdrop and ask her prying questions), or engage in any other common social activities. When pushed, Shelley’s mother sometimes said that she did allow her daughter to have friends over, but the latter knew very well that if she proposed something like that, it would have to involveundue scrutiny (by her parents) and extensive preparations as though, as she likes to put it, it were “a dinner for two with the British Ambassador.” Much of the time her parents just made loads of senseless excuses aimed to rationalize (e.g. “Why do you need friends, when you have such a loving [read: well-to-do] family?”, “You’re too smart/old for that”), shame (“Be grateful for what you have and don’t envy your classmates!”), brainwash (“Some girls are just outgoing. Others like to keep to themselves and you’re just one of those. [Had they listened and paid attention to their daughter, they never would have thought this]“), excuse their laziness (“It’s hard enough for us to take care of you, and you’re asking us to let another girl ride our family car and sit with us in the movie theater?!”), assume the worst/most disturbing and disgusting (“What if they [the family of a slumber party hostess] are a bunch of drug addicts who will murder you in your sleep?” or [when Shelley wanted a roommate in college - she deeply regrets having chosen a school close to home, which resulted in loads of undue abuse] “Go with a single! We’re paying for your dorm so that you’d live close to your school and have an easier time studying; if you get a roommate, she might get drunk and vomit on your stuff or be ‘some sort of prostitute’ who’d bring in her pimps!!!”), put down (“Because you’re socially retarded/immature, that’s why [you can't have friends over]!!!”), or do any other combination of the above. The comment about being “socially retarded” has been particularly painful for Shelley, and I can really empathize with her because, as one can tell from the first few minutes of talking to her, she’s anything but. As I said before, she’s very sweet, caring, and friendly. Granted, she does have a few shortfalls in social skills (e.g. once, when she was at a sorority party and the girls were sharing embarrassing period stories and there was one that made everyone [incl. the subject] laugh, Shelley failed to catch on and offered that girl solace, as though she had just been victimized by this disaster and was feeling embarrassed at the moment), but those are just an unfortunate byproduct of her parents sheltering and should be easy to correct. As this story illustrates, Shelley seems to be hypersensitive to other people’s feelings, possibly trying to overcompensate for the abusive childhood she endured. And, if applied properly, this trait can be a great asset for her and help her find the peer group she’s always longed for. She often talks passionately about how much it would have meant for her to be able to go places with other girls, sometimes bursting into tears so bitter that it almost makes me want to cry with her. It particularly hurts Shelley to know that practically everyone else was allowed to see her peers after school and often asks me (as well as others who know of her tragedy) if I know anyone who has lived with similarly controlling parents. It would feel like she isn’t alone in this, and yet I don’t think I know of any other family that was similarly abusive. Do you know of anyone (esp. from a seemingly-decent fam
Debt Relief Advice – Banks and Financial Institutions Are Not Your Best Friends
Jan 3rd
At first, this seems too obvious a thing to say. However, the truth is that people often lose their cautious approach and become very relaxed when they deal with banks and financial institutions. The end result is that they accept any and every deal irrespective of whether it is beneficial for them or not. Warren Buffet once said that one should never ask the barber whether one needs a shave. The underlying logic is that one should not seek advice from a person who has an interest in the decision. Hence, do not to rely on the advice provided by banks and financial institutions as far as debt relief is concerned. Instead, check out independent and impartial sources of information.
This is not to say that banks and financial institutions are crooks. However, every cent of debt relief that you get is a loss for the institutions. In such a scenario, one cannot blame them for being more focused on profits instead of welfare. Their duty is to earn maximum profits. Your job is to save as much money as possible. You must always remember that both are working at opposite end of the spectrum. If you keep this in mind, you will always be in a position to analyze the pros and cons various debt relief options offered by the banks and lenders.
The World Wide Web offers the best possible source of impartial advising information. This is because the web helps you seek advice without disclosing any personal details. Hence, the person giving the advice will never know whether you are rich, poor, or whether dealing with a particular bank.
Secondly, the sheer volume of advice on the World Wide Web in debt settlement and networking forums help you check and recheck any and every advice you get. The chances of falling for wrong advise is very less as you can post the advice that you have been given and find what others have to say about it.
Hence, rather than relying on what your friendly bank executive has to say, you should make use of other resources as well to make sure you are perfectly safe when seeking debt relief.
If you are over $10,000 in unsecured debt it would be wise to utilize a debt relief network instead of going directly to a debt settlement company. Using a debt relief network guarantees that the debt settlement company you choose has been certified and has established success in negotiating settlements. They are free to use and a good starting point to begin your debt relief process.
How to Stop Friends From Drunk Driving?
Jan 2nd
I am sure every one of you would have come across occasions or even been a party to alcohol abuse mainly drunken driving happenings. How was the experience? Well the question makes sense only to those who have realized the seriousness of the issue and not to those care free guys who hardly know what they are upto.
How to Stop Friends from Drinking and Driving?
Inspite of frequent warnings and legal consequences like DWI drunken driving accidents continue happening endangering not only the lives of individuals driving the vehicle, but also the lives of those innocent people on road. Frequent among these is the underage drinking. It is indeed a very difficult task ahead to stop drunkards getting themselves and others into serious trouble and injury
Drunk After Party
Well, every effort to teach and make people aware of the consequences of drinking and driving and alcohol abuse are effective only to a limited extent. Number of initiatives by the federal government like field sobriety tests namely Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Test, breathalyzer and penalizing the accused for any violation under DWI are not sufficiently effective.
Another way to stop such happenings lies in the hands of near and dear ones. The moment they are drunk, you know they are not in senses, hence as friends and loved ones do whatever is possible by you to stop them from handling the vehicle in a drunken state. This in fact completely solves the problem and avoids every chance of a drunken driving accident.
Hear from them….
See what people who have been through horrifying experiences of drunken driving have to say about it.
Social Drinking
“No matter what, never allow your friends drive home after they have indulged themselves into heavy drinking. You can offer to drive for your friend’s safety and for the safety of all others on road” – Jeffrey
“We as a couple have mutually agreed not to drink and drive. On those days when we go partying we fix up a driver who will take us back home safely. Thanks to our friend Annette who made sure we did not screw up thing after drinking” – Bernadette
“I get on to my nerves when I see my brother drinking and offering to drive the car back home…the sad part is that he never listens to anyone not does he care to take advices….the only way I found to stop him drive his vehicle is by putting away his car keys even before he could realize it and safely engage a cab to get back home…..Boy! It is definitely a huge task as my brother is highly systematic except when it comes to drinking” – Anne Stephens
Drunk
“Sam is a good friend of mine. He loves adventures and drinking and driving is his favorite hobby….not only does he bet on driving home back, it ensures he drives at a particular speed….imagine the danger…..many repeated warnings only proved futile…..finally I had to threaten him about calling the police….one of the days I had a police personnel coming over to a friends place, on a complaint lodged by me….I think that was the last time Sam spoke to me…….its been years since I met him…I am happy that I saved my friend and a lot of others on road atleast on that one occasion”- Steve
“It was my friend Julie’s birthday party and that was the first time I met Robin. He was a cool guy indeed, but a serious alcoholic. I was surprised to see him steady after close to 6 rounds of drinking. It was only then I realized that he was planning to drive back home all on his own. Nobody seemed to stop him, given that it was his routine to drive home back. Being a DWI counselor I was sure he would end up into some serious trouble. Just to gain his attention I complimented him and his car and asked whether it was okay if I could have a drive. I asked my friend Paul to follow me in his car, just to get a drive back to the place. And lo….Robin was unable to even walk upto his door, thanks to Paul… he helped me in putting Robin in his bed. Two days later I had called up a couple of other friends and also Robin for tea at my place and explained to them the seriousness of alcohol abuse, DWI and other legalities, Field Sobriety tests, penalties, fines and imprisonment. I really do not know how far it was taken, I atleast had the satisfaction of having done my duty”- Desiree
Drinking with Friends
“Do whatever you can to stop your son or daughter from driving while they are drunk. Even if amounts to putting them behind bars, is fine. It is any day better than loosing them for ever…like how I have lost both my son and daughter in a drunken driving accident…..you better be serious about it…..do not play with their lives…..after all they are your children” – Martina Gomes
Never be late in helping someone who is drunk and intends to drive. Peer pressure is one reason why some individuals end up drinking out of control. Inspite of the warnings in alcohol advertisements, people commit certain fatal mistakes endangering their lives and the lives of others. You save a number of lives by helping them. Do whatever you can. A small step is sure to save lives. Enjoy life by helping someone live.
