My friend likes to get girls drunk by pretending to do shots with them, but only the girls have alcohol--he has juice! ethical? criminal?

That is completely unethical, from a moral standpoint. The key word here is "pretending. " It's lying, basically.

And if your friend later tries to make a pass at these girls later on, after he got them drunk under false pretenses, it's tantamount to rape. Even if he doesn't, I can't think of a single legitimate and/or reasonable justification for such behavior. Your friend is a jerk.

It's not ethical by my standards. It would not be illegal in itself; but, it could be illegal if it was part of some larger pattern of activity such as seducing them or letting them drive. Women notoriously used to do this, especially professional B-girls, a practice which was outlawed in Louisiana long ago.

Doesn't sound like someone I'd want to be friends with.

I know very few people who just enjoy watching people get drunk. I would make sure your friend doesn't do this with the intent of sleeping with them. I can see that being considered date rape.

Pathetic, unless he's the designated driver. Could be a sign of a deep rooted psychological problem, that has to do with an inferiority complex.

The girls who go with person should be informed. Since it is your friend, do something before he gets in to serious trouble.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
