Signs your friend is wasted and what to do... Part One

It's a Saturday night and you're in a club with a couple friends, there to celebrate a common friend's birthday.

Lots and lots of drinks and dancing. One of your friend starts talking weird, worse if it's the birthday boy/girl. Maybe he or she isn't even talking, just standing one side quietly, waiting to strike on your new shoes.

So here i, Stanley, the expert on being drunk and dealing with drunkards offer some advice to all.

Some general advice.
Drunk friends can appear anytime, anywhere, beware and be warned.
Always have a camera handy so you can take funny photos or if possible videos of your friend being drunk and doing funny stuff.



Signs to see if your friend is drunk:
Sign: He/She starts talking with a slur and keeps calling you their buddy or keeps apologizing for no particular reason.
What to do: This is actually a good sign. Means your friend is still somewhat conscious. Careful tho, a few more drinks and said friend might start becoming silent...

Sign: After a few glasses of vodka neat or a flaming Lamborghini and a tequila shot. Your friend turns quiet. It's a bit too quiet...
What to do: Bring your friend to the washroom or prepare a plastic bag. Or you can pretend not to notice and constantly keep your distance. The best is to leave a friend or 2 between you and him/her if you're chilling by the tunnel in Zouk or hope he doesn't vomit on you while playing mahjong.

Sign: Your friend starts crying and tells you how much he/she loves you, the girl/boyfriend, parents and asks why he doesn't have their love. The mucus flies and a box of tissues ain't even enough. Puke all over the kitchen basin and lots of lots of tears. Your friend is considering suicide as an option.
What to do: Woah this is serious man! You might not be a psychologist but there are some things you can do. You can try dragging your friend to the shower, dunk him/her a couple times. Usually wakes em up. Forcing them to take a nice hot shower works too. If all else fails and your friend ends up crying and whining once again all over the table. Knock him/her out. Just do it.
