My tip: is your son going out from time to time or is he every weekend behind the pc? If he isnt going out, you should suggest that. Ok, there is the drinking part but he is socializing and that is what kids should do. And there is the chicks part also... its good for youth to do that. Let him get some real world experience and i bet he will be thankful for that because nothing beats that. Trust me i know, when i was a teenager i barely had social stuff and it teared me up inside.

I didn't see halfpint say the kid spends night and day every day in there, he said that the kid pulled 1 24 hour stint.
If he is still doing other things, and still going to work/school and handling his responsiblities. My opinion is to leave him alone. It sounds like halfpint already talked to him, and I think that is a good thing.
