one of the people i live with goes out drinking a couple nights a week and it seems that the more times a week this person goes out the more drunk they seem to be. if you were in this predicament would you a) stay living at your current residence or b) go live somewhere else???

you're all right about talking to this person. this person isn't abusive, she only was once. what really frightens me is she goes out driving.

If you don't like the stiuation that you are living in with the person always coming home drunk. I would have to say fine a different residence. Cause all its going to do to you is make you mad even more.

If alcohol abuse is happening and it bothers you, you need to leave. I have once had a drinking problem, and I couldn't be changed until I wanted to make a change in my life for me. This person is probably an alcoholic or if they don't change their patterns will end up being an alcoholic. It also depends on the age of the person, if they are in their young 20's they are in a drinking phase. I hope your not on the lease.

If you feel comfortable...talk to her and about her drunk driving. Tell her your concerns. If she doesn't think there's a problem, tell her there is and you are thinking of moving out. She won't get help unless she wants to. The only thing you can control are your actions. So you will have to make the choice to stay or move on, and only you can really decide that.
Good luck.

Move. If someone is getting worse chances are they haven't hit bottom yet (which is where 99% of people have to be before they realize they need help). Alcoholism QUICKLY becomes the problem of everyone around the person, rather than just his (or hers).

I would try to talk to this person when they are sober, don't try doing it when they're drunk it won't work. But tell her that your worried about her and you care about her, you don't want anything happining to her...to slow down and not destroy her self by drinking and anything else you want. I know what your going through, it's hard, but I wish you the best. Good luck.

If the lease is in his name I would start looking for another place to live before I let him know { if you already have talked to him about the problem } . It will only get worse if it's going on that often now .

I would talk to the person first, then after he answers I would make a decision

i'd talk to that person about it and tell them that their drinking may be a problem and ask if they need help.
but if the problem persists and it's really hurting you, i would move.
it kinda depends on how old you are, and who in your family this is.

does this person's drinking affect you in negative way? If so, and they wont stop, you might want to leave so you can have some peace.
