has anyone thought from the parents point of view.? i think according to them thexonic is probably the best thing that could have happened to their son.
i wouldnt care if he was drinking himself silly at parties and going home safely with someone else but in qatar ...i wouldnt like anyone to walk in the road,drunk.i have seen the consequences of that, on my operating table,too many times to count.

as for snitching to his parents,i cant comment on that without knowing better the relations between thexonic,his friend and his parents.
human relations are too complex to summarily accept or dismiss in webposts.
do it right - the first time!
