My friend is drinking more. Leaving away from him...

Yes, you made the right decision. It is hard to be around someone that is drunk all the time. If it's occasionally, well, I'd be ok with that but if it is all the time and to the point where the person is irritating and obnoxious then it is best to just back away from them. You have already made your feelings known to this person and it did not stop him. He has to figure it out on his own.

Leaving a friend or being with them is completely our decision. But you also cannot stay with a person you are not comfortable with. I think if you are not comfortable being with your friend, once or twice you should try to explain to him that you are not feeling ok to be with him with this habit of his. If he does not bother what you are up to then you can stop talking to him, this won't say that you left him on his back. you give him a chance to think or change himself or be a little decent when with you, if not. Just close the story by leaving him.

That's dangerous to tell a drinker secret, because they can't help to talk out truth after they are drunk. So we have options if we have a friend like that. First, we stop telling them secrets or personal information. Then they don't have anything to leak away while they are drunk. Or, we keep a distance from them. I think you do not need to abandon your friend at all. You just need to be careful with what you tell him. Besides, you should advise him to drink less, because it's really not good for health.

I know the feeling. I didn't wait for this to happen. When my best friend started to want to get into the it crowd, started drinking more heavily and smoke a lot, I kind of drifted away from her. I really didn't want to get into a bad community with not so great effect on me...

There could be some underlying reasons why he drinks a lot. But before you can help out someone, you must help yourself first. Or protect yourself. As a friend, I am sure that the two of you may have shared some secrets or confidential matters that need not be divulge to anyone else. I just hope that you have learned to purposely make sure to keep those secrets of yours from him once you discovered that he turns to be a tattle-tale once he starts drinking. As for abandoning a friend, only you can tell if that it the right thing to do. If it is the right thing to do, you shouldn't feel bad about doing it. Have you tried to reach his family and are they aware of his drinking problems?

yes this habit is very bad because when they drink they forget about every thing and it is not good for health also. I think you can try your best for stopping his habit because he is a friend of yours. then only you can be a good friend. But any in reason you don't make that habit as yours.

I know many men around me drink like that , too. I hate people who drink and smoke. It's bad for health, why don't they just give up? Is it that hard? Well, I don't know whether it's a right decision for you to leave, but if I were youl, I may do the same.
