My classmate is having drug addiction problems. Should I tell his parents about it?

Question by anne: My classmate is having drug addiction problems. Should I tell his parents about it?
I’m the only one who knows that my classmate is into drugs. I caught him smoking marijuana and he made me promise not tell anyone about it. I’m feeling really guilty. His drug consumption is increasing everyday and I’m scared for him. He might be addicted to it. What am I supposed to do?

Is having a 750 ml bottle of pina colada in one night classified as binge drinking?

Question by Mother of Rayneisha: Is having a 750 ml bottle of pina colada in one night classified as binge drinking?
or having a 750 ml bottle of wine or other cocktail in one night usually every friday, saturday and sunday is this binge drinking or alcholism? what are the consequences if a person does this? long term and short term and can a person cause permanent damage by doing this or not if yes, how long would it take?

Answer by freesumpin
No, it wouldn’t be binge drinking. If it was 80 proof liquor (or rum) it might be, but this 750 ml cocktail mix bottle is probably from 8 – 18 proof. This means there is MUCH less ethanol or alcohol in it.

Drinking the whole bottle is probably equal to having 6 drinks, enough to make some people sick with all that sugar, quite tipsy but not drunk unless they’re inexperienced.

Short term the person will only have a hangover the next days. Long term from drinking this one bottle – eventually they’ll learn hangovers hurt and will not drink this syrupy stuff. Hopefully!

Is having parents like this normal?

Question by Ramon: Is having parents like this normal?
who are always angry, all the time and quick to judge. Everyone else is always wrong.

a) like I said, dad is a borderline alcoholic with MS.

b) mom is too busy all the time, between arguing with him, taking care of our grandma with
alzheimer’s, and managing her apart-ment complex, and her career.

c) dad will storm in and demand that we not “make her jump” when we ask for help.
All he does is sit at the computer all day, and gives us a ride to school and that is it.

He has the nerve to tell us, he actually supports our education.

d) because both are too busy, they ship me off to therapy so they don’t have to bother with me.

does forgiving past issues with family necessarily mean having to build a relationship with them?

Question by Saphira: does forgiving past issues with family necessarily mean having to build a relationship with them?
Hello
I am a 21 year old female. I grew up in a very abusive and dysfunctional family due to an alcoholic parent’s addiction. Well anyways, to make it quick, I grew up with several mental problems due to the verbal, physical, and emotional abuse from all family members, I played the role as the “lost child.” Now all of a sudden everyone in the family seems to be acting like they all of a sudden care about me and each other, and somehow the most abusive family members are acting all nice. I must say, I am willing to forgive, but a relationship with my family is something I DO NOT want. I do not feel comfortable after all these years of mental disturbance and abuse, and I don’t feel connected to any one of them except my mother. I don’t want to speak much or be around them anymore. I have PTSD from all the domestic violence as a child, and I do believe it is quite possibly going to be a lifelong mental problem as directed by my doctor. I feel a relationship just isn’t going to work and I do not trust anyone, no matter how “nice” they act with me. Is this something normal? is it necessary to have to have a relationship just because I forgive? if anyone has any solutions please help, any answers are appreciated.

**note: I am religious if anyone has any help in that aspect

Send him back to rehab or other appropriate treatment. Is he hanging out with new friends? Ultimately, you may have to leave him.
