Giving drunk roommates the cold shoulder?

I’ve never had a roommate come back wasted, and I would never do that to my roommate no matter how sick I was (I wouldn’t ever get that sick, but if I did I would call 911 or my friends).

I wouldn’t give a roommate the cold shoulder like that though. Every time that someone came back pretty sick our whole floor would help out, get water/food, clean up, and they would usually sleep in the common area with a trash can right next to them. I thought this method worked well so not one person got so ****ed feeling like they had responsibility heaped on them. I guess this works better with a close floor, but I would try to build a support group so not one person is taking care of this person.

Also, this way the person usually doesn’t repeat that because of not wanting to let the floor down by making them continuously clean up after them.
