A good friend of mine gets rather annoying when he drinks.
Keep in mind he is not getting wasted, driving, fighting, getting real biligerant etc. However, he just starts talking and talking and it gets really annoying after a while. He does not do this when not drinking and in fact is a great guy.
Tonight a bunch of us were trying to watch a movie and this guy would not stop talking. After a while when he talked other people would say "Good for you" and then ignore him. I think people were getting pretty annoyed. (I know I was).
They guy admits that he is alcoholic and says he "likes to drink a few beers." (or 8 or 9 lol!)
Granted it could be worse, he could be getting real wasted and causing all kinds of problems.
Even though that is not the case. What he is doing is getting very annoying.
What can I do?

Looks like you have long-since outgrown this friend.
At some point, you need to evaluate each relationship and ask, "What does this person bring to the table?" Is this person a mooch? A user? A manipulator? A drama-queen? A time-waster? Or is this person your cheering section? Provide insight? Make you laugh?
As you go down the list of traits and how each thing makes you feel, you will know who you should be spending more time with.

You can tell your friend straight up that when he drinks, his behavior becomes annoying. Reassure him that even though you're his friend, you have you limits. No drinking when he's around or out with you.
