Which is what I said? You don't have to condone everything they do. I don't condone everything my friends do and I'm pretty sure they don't condone everything I do but I've been friends with all of my friends for a long time and bar animal/child abuse, Their isn't much they could do in the world to make me ditch them!

Staying friends with someone wouldn't happen with some one with such unacceptable behaviour such as ending in a police cell through drink

That's very different and I hope that all of us would help someone who has had a fit.

So, if they were in that state because they'd had a fit you'd help them but if they were that way because they'd drunk too much you'd let them stew?

Then again, I will just say thanks to God that I have more understanding friends than you

If they were drunk I have said I would make sure they were safe but draw the line at cleaning them up.

That wouldn't bother me. One of my friends the dozy mare ended up in one one night (long story!), though not entirely her fault.

It would probably take a lot for me to fall out with someone tbh.

More likely you have friends who get themself in a drunken state. You are well matched

Actually none of my friends hardly drink. But think what you want, I don't care
Let he who is without sin and all that!

I presume you mean your friends hardly drink as your sentence reads the opposite.

I am not perfect far from it, but its not hard to know your limits. Seem strange to talk about police cells and drinking if not something in your circle

It's why I hardly drink anymore and I have learnt my limits. But there was a time in my life where yes, I have woken up in the garden and a police cell and got cautioned for 'drunk and disorderly' so....on top of that, I should have lost my friends as well because by your logic everything else about me is not worth knowing because I made some stupid mistakes?
My mum was drunk from the time I could remember to about 6 years ago when she was diagnosed with chronic pancreatis (sp?) Should I have just binned her off?

Where did I say that everything about you isn't worth knowing?

How you interact with your mother is your choice and some would have had no contact. Someone with alcohol problems in the family is tough so surprised that you would drink to excess but that was your choice.
