I'm guessing because you are the one NOT making bad choices, they expect you to be the voice of reason. Though I might be wrong, I am certain of this one thing: They can't take responsibility for their actions. Blame shifting is a form of denial.

That actually happened to me once, and I realized that I was the sort who always tried to be supportive. For example, my roommate said something like "I think I want to stay home this weekend" and I said "that sounds really nice. Just relax and pamper yourself". Then her boss asked me out for the weekend and I said yes. She thought I was being disloyal "talking her into staying home" and then leaving myself, but I hadn't really intended to "talk her into" staying home. I was just being supportive of her decision.
So, you might ask yourself if your supportiveness is being interpreted as persuasion (especially in hindsight when your friends or former are looking for someone to blame)!

Doesn't seem fair to you. Maybe there's a reason you have put (or former) in your question. Some people just find it easier to blame someone else rather than finding fault in themselves.
No one is perfect - wouldn't it be easier if we were?
