I don't know. Are your friends exceptionally stupid? Do they not know that whatever (smoking, drinking alot, drugs, etc.) are bad for them? Are they going to be astoundingly enlightened when you volunteer your opinion of their behavior?
Personally, I keep my mouth shut unless a friends asks or starts a conversation about something.

No, but at least I tried to be a good friend.
I will only bring the subject once and hear their response...but I believe we will be judge by the good advice we didn't give at the time.

That way they will remember: I TOLD YOU SO.
You also might be judged for your arrogance in thinking you have all the answers and everyone should listen to you because your opinion is the right one always.
If someone told me "take it easy on the booze'" i would probably get very defensive whether I had 5 sips or 5 glasses and would expect others to react the same.
I'm sure you can get your point across without putting it in the form of a demand.

If I'm seeing ALL the signs of you drunk and I see you are getting hammered and I consider you my friend because we go way back (like 20 years), I think is different.
Well, no. Her point was that you're the person who your date barely knows. On the second date, or third, you're not in the "friend" category, yet.
I didn't tell her (the 2 to 3 dates girl) anything really. For me it was a gain at the end of the day, she was all mellow and hugging me and stuff.
But if I know a friend for 20 years and I see the pattern of getting hammered, well I will tell her. And you know what? When I told her about how my father died of a liver cancer because he was a heavy drinker, well she got the point that I was telling something because I was worried about her health.
So I guess sometimes you have to break the old "politically correct" code.
