Giving drunk roommates the cold shoulder?

OP Posted: “Now obviously if they’re KO’d on the floor from drinking I’ll report it (can’t have a body lying on the floor and act like there’s nothing wrong)…”

He never said that he would leave someone to die. My goodness, can’t anyone on this thread understand sarcasm? The OP is trying to say that he will call for help if it appears that his roommates are in dire straights. However, it’s not his responsibility to hold their heads over the toilet as they puke their guts out from choosing to binge drink. It’s not his responsibility to clean up after them. It’s not his responsibility to spend his nights staying up and nursing his drunk roommates through the puking, bed spins, and headaches.

He’s not saying that drinking and socializing are wrong. He’s trying to say that his roommates choice to binge drink is their choice and the consequences of their choice to binge drink should not be placed on his shoulders. That’s it–nothing more.

It must be terrible to be stuck in a room with 3 other people who don’t give a crap about your feelings—three people who have no intention of compromising with the 4th person. The 3 roommates have taken over the room.
