I had a similar situation in a college dorm at age 18. My friend didn't want to get in trouble so just tried to babysit me. I had severe alcohol poisoning and was sick for days. I am still good friends with that guy, but have realized I need to say no to him quite a bit.

Honestly if you are in America, he _might_ have done you a favor as the emergency ride to the hospital costs about 5k (not great for college students), let alone the medical bill. It's always better safe than sorry though.

That's insane. Does the St. John Ambulance Brigade not operate in the US? T hey provide free services in many countries and have for decades.

Perhaps the third world needs to send an aid mission to the US.
