Answer:

The personality structure represented is the Id.

Explanation:

According to Freud, an individual's behavior is determined by the inner conflict of the 3 components of the personality structure: Id, Ego, Super Ego.

Let's break them down:

Id: the most primitive, it represents one's desires and instinctive behaviors. It would be saying "I want this now".
Ego: the mediator between the id and super ego. It deals with reality and it helps the individual bend more to that is acceptable by society.
Super Ego: it represents moral and ethics, understanding right from wrong.

In this case, the Id is taking charge since your friend is showing you the desire and urge of going out to drink and have fun, even if he has responsibilities for the next day.
