On a lighter note, I completely love that stupid commercial where the couple get a "rescue panther" since they can't afford a security system.
Ahahaha, me too.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In that situation, the student's family were wondering why his friends didn't make sure he got home safely.
I was going to say that, but honestly, when I was 21, if I got too drunk, I would often just head home by myself. And I often get quiet when I feel out of control (ie, too drunk), so even my friends might not have known that's why I was leaving.
In short, kids are dumb sometimes.

In high school, I was the kind of person who made sure people got home safely since I didn't drink. That tends not to help one's social status at that age.

So much this.

And you know, by the time I was 21, I was a pro at drinking! So we weren't taking so much care of each other anymore, which I don't even mean in a bad way, just that we each believed we were capable of seeing ourselves home safely.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
At my alma mater, a college student got really drunk and fell asleep on the train tracks. In that situation, the student's family were wondering why his friends didn't make sure he got home safely.
Oh god, that sounds horribly similar to what happened to my brother-in-law. We'll never know what happened that night for sure, but what we do know is that he went out drinking with friends, took the subway home alone, and was subsequently hit by a train -- somehow, he'd fallen onto the tracks, and nobody was around to notice (it was very late). The friend who was the last to see him alive is a really decent, responsible guy, and I know it absolutely tears him up to think about whether he should have done something differently that night -- called him a cab, accompanied him home -- but I'm sure it never even occurred to him that that might be necessary. J. was a big, strong guy and I don't think they'd been drinking crazy amounts, just a regular night out. Sometimes terrible things just happen.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
When I was 21, if I was drunk, my friends were drunker. No help at all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
