Plz help me, im really confused.  If any1 here has been in a similar situation let me know what u did, esp those successful in stopping friends from drinking. [wlm] Nehar:(

[slm] I had a friend who used to drink, I would tell him this is wrong, it's not healthy, u could get in trouble with the law (drunk driving).  I saw no need to tell his parents since he was an adult already.  alhamdulilah he saw the error of his ways and repented and no longer drinks.  So I would suggest you do the same, offer advice and support.  About telling parents, that depends on circumstances.
