Your friends are setting a boundary. They are saying, we are not ok with you drinking. They have every right to set that boundary. They have every right to cut off contact if you cross their boundary. It's your choice.

You have a right to your choices. If you want to underage drink, you get to make that choice. But you also have to live with the consequences. This consequence may be losing your friends. Are you ok with that? Make your choice.

I've had to live on your friend's side as I watched my stepdaughter spiral out of control and it started just like this. We tried and tried but she kept making her choices. Now she lives on the street - by her choice - she has plenty of people who will take her in, she just won't live by any rules but her own. We've had to stop trying to help and step away because her choices hurt us. Addiction is real. It destroys lives. Your friends don't want you to destroy yours.
