Question

Cynthia knows she should not drink alcohol or do drugs, and she has avoided these things her whole life. However, lately, she suspects her brother might be sneaking liquor into his room late at night. She has always been close friends with her brother, and she doesn't want him to be mad at her, but she also doesn't want him to hurt himself. What should Cynthia do?

Answer 1

She should do her best to sit him down alone, and see how he is feeling.

She needs to have a discussion with him, not an argument. If he is going through something, alcohol may just be an outlet.

The best thing is to make sure he's okay, and for her to lovingly express her concerns. =)
