Look for sober moments to discuss things with your friend. You wouldn’t try to talk to someone about serious life events right after they came out of major surgery, right? Why not? Because they would be under the affects of the anesthetic. It’s the same way when someone is drunk. You cannot reason with anyone who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
