One more question: My friends at the school I'm going to really like to get wasted. I've just never been attracted to the stuff -- drugs or alcohol. They love that I can be the designated driver, but I worry that I'm just helping them have problems and get themselves in trouble. Whenever I say anything, they laugh me off. But I'm pretty sure at least a couple of them are alcoholics. And I've seen all of them do things they really regret later. How can I actually get through to them about the risks they are taking in a way they might actually listen to? Or should I just shut up and let them make their mistakes and learn the hard way.

What’s the difference between just being really, really drunk and dangerously drunk? In other words, how do you know when to take a friend to the emergency room?
