well, to all of those who responded thank you for your opinions. to clarify, i had been drinking to the point of inebriation, where i then stopped, and i know i had no more alcohol in my stomach since when i got choked out i puked up water. my morals for consuming alcohol are quite different from the general population: i plan ahead to make sure i will not drive. and my personality has always been non violent. and as i said, violence and force was indeed used as a final and ultimate option.
on a second point, although he does not know my goal of attaining a Jedi state of mind (something on which im working to acheive), i should say he unofficially consideres himself a Sith, in that he acts out of emotion, where i act out of logic, with emotion being the variable which humans can oftend not avoid. i was angry with him.
and yes, maybe in the future he will remember the lengths to which i went to stop him. ive only ever gotten very drunk several times, but those times weren't purposeful. you reach a point where you think you are okay, and you forget you are poisoning yourself. all things in moderation should truly be more universal than it is.
to clarify, it holds a certain place in my heart that i only ever sought so far to battle my "brother" and no mere stranger, since any possible violence with others that could have occured i was able to talk myself out of. all in all, i told him i'd do it again if i had to. he is the one who goes out of control. i love him yet i hate his choices. he fell off the path, yet thinks he knows where it is, walking in the thorns yet he thinks he's on a paved road. it is sad, i meditate to have the power to make people like him be unable to harm others. yet he IS my "brother". hard choices lie ahead if i continue to maintain a relationship with him.
