1. Let them take the bottom bunk
Nothing is worse than trying to climb a ladder after a few drinks. Not to mention that the risk of falling of is obviously much higher than it is sober. In order to keep your roommate safe as possible, offer them to sleep in your bed. If both of your beds are bunked, give them the couch, futon, or throw the mattress onto the floor for a night. Anything to keep your roommate as close to the ground as possible.
2. Support them
This could be a variety of things. Anything from giving them food and water, going to the bathroom with them and checking up on them from time to time, even once they go to bed. It may seem tedious but it is worth it in the long run.
3. Call police if you think it’s necessary
