Giving drunk roommates the cold shoulder?

College Life

<p>AtheistsUnite - Thank you for understanding where I’m coming from. I don’t understand why people make it seem others are obligated to help people who purposely put themselves in dangers way. Then they try to bring in hypothetical situations that don’t even compare to being drunk; comparing apples and oranges. My thing is that you’re stupid enough to buy a 40 case and drink half of it one night and then you want someone to be doctor. Why should I waste my time dialing 911 even if it’s “3 simple numbers”? </p>

<p>If something was to happen to them, I would be able to sleep at night. I didn’t do anything to them; they’re stupid actions did. Like they saying goes, you reap what you sow. It’s funny how I’m “immature for not helping them” but they’re not immature for not knowing when to stop/moderate. Once again, I love you society and your hypocritical/double standards! Society is AWESOME. .</p>

<p>I agree with you too, especially if you’re in the situation you described. I could see helping somebody out once or twice, but after that it’s on them. It’s not that hard to drink responsibly. If you’re at risk of choking to death on your own vomit, you have no business drinking in the first place.</p>

23

<p>My point still stands. You are clearly not mature enough to be living in any situation other than a single room.</p>

<p>I never said you had to babysit them. Drunk roommates are obnoxious, yes. But it’s quite sad that you said you wouldn’t call 911 if they were in real danger.</p>

24

<p>And my point still stands. I’m not playing doctor to 3 drunken idiots.</p>

<p>It’s quite sad that THEY put THEMSELVES in real danger.</p>

25

<p>Your point does not stand. Calling 911, or even just your RA, does not mean you’re “playing doctor.” That does not entail taking care of them. But if you walk out of the room knowing someone is throwing up on themselves and cannot breath (asphyxiation), and you willfully ignore it, you are a sick, sick person. I’m glad I’ll probably never meet you, as heartless as you are.</p>

<p>But yes, you’re right that it’s sad that they do that. No one is disagreeing with you there.</p>

<p>Drinking is not the devil. People drink in college because it’s a fun way to release stress. People who don’t drink or rarely drink tend to think people who drink the college norm are borderline alcoholics. I bet half the reason people get mad at people who drink is because they aren’t having any fun. Going to bed at 12 on the weekend is weird. Be more social. You don’t have to drink to have fun with drinking roommates.</p>

<p>^If you don’t want us to generalize you, don’t generalize us, please.</p>

28

<p>^^ I assume you’ve never had a weekend job that you have to wake up early for? Going to bed at midnight is necessary for someone like me who has to wake up at 6 AM on Saturday. It’s not because I’m anti-social. It’s because I need money :rolleyes: It’s not weird- it’s healthy. I am plenty social, thanks.</p>

<p>OP-
I understand your frustration, but you are sick if you wouldn’t save someone’s life. If people are coming into your room that late, you need to get RAs involved. The dorm is supposed to be primarily for sleeping and studying, socializing is secondary.</p>

<p>I guess we can all agree to disagree.</p>

<p>End verdict: I’m cold, heartless, and sick. </p>

<p>Oh well. This cold, heartless and sick individual won’t die from alcohol poisoning or choking on my own vomit! :D</p>

<p>And btw, to those who said you’re glad you won’t meet me. My feelings are hurt. I think I’m going to go to counseling services because people on a forum said they’re glad they would never meet me in life. <em>Cries to sleep</em> :{</p>

<p>Congratulations on a great accomplishment.</p>

<p>agree with brown14</p>

32

<p>tetrahedr0n - Thanks! :smiley:
Sean - Me too. Oh and to answer his question , “what do I get from being a condescending jerk?” I get to be alive. Not dead from alcohol posioning/choking on my vomit. </p>

<p>You guys could continue to chime in/add insults but my point still stands. If any of you care that much about my 3 roommates, you could come play doctor for them. Just pm me and I’ll give you my info so you could come here.</p>

33

<p>There’s a word for people like sadcollege(not a)stud: Dbag.</p>

34

<p>^Love it!</p>

<p>Real talk!</p>

<p>E07,</p>

<p>What generalization? I don’t see any “alls” or “everys.” Even my friends who don’t drink, don’t look down on those who do. </p>

<p>Now I am going out…to socialize.</p>

36

<p>Some people have priorities/responsibilities outside of getting drunk and/or hanging out with drunk people so they can’t stay up until 3 every night. If that makes them weird, I guess I am too. What an ignorant statement…</p>

37

<p>wlm ftw. </p>

<p>Maybe I should go out and “socialize” like tiff90. Maybe I’ll get **** drunk to the point where I choke on my vomit. Getting ****ed drunk ftw!!!</p>

38

<p>I was wondering if you had told your roommates that you will not be be their babysitter. I do understand your frustration…it is stressful sitting up witj someone worrying that they may throw up in their sleep …it is a difficult position to be put in to decide when someone has had too much to drink and they need medical attention. I wonder if they would continue to get drunk if an ambulance was called for possible alcohol poisoning…just some thoughts.</p>

<p>"What generalization? I don’t see any “alls” or “everys.” Even my friends who don’t drink, don’t look down on those who do. "</p>

<p>Then I’ll change the wording of your sentence, also not using any “all” or “every.”</p>

<p>People who drink tend to be huge slobs who puke all over everything without any regard for the people around them.</p>

<p>You don’t see that as a generalization just because I didn’t say “all?” That’s a little simpleminded.</p>

<p>it would suck to be your roommate</p>
