How many more times do I need to say the problem is just with the way the one friend is acting. Not me, and not friend number 2, just him. And you also realize I'm just talking about pot right? Lmao. And the problem was HE gets too drunk and fights. Once again, not me or friend number two. Just forget it. I'll just keep wasting away on that marijuana, everybody knows it kills right. haha.

Fair enough...I am not standing in judgement of your means of coping...but given it was you who previously complained that your drinking was getting to be a problem, seemingly if it is also becoming a problem for an actual friend for whom you care enough to comment, why not co-motivate to stop it from gaining further ground...? While pot smoking might merely dull the mind and rob the spirit of motivation, alcohol may lead to a dangerous level of dependency...and cause undisciplined behavior that can lead to death...but you already know all this.
