In her book "Bad Feminist," Roxane Gay emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive friends, particularly women who offer genuine companionship. She suggests that true friends provide both fun and accountability, allowing you to enjoy life while also being mindful of your behavior.
Gay stresses that having friends who are trustworthy and caring is essential, especially in social situations where one might indulge too much. These friends will not only support you through the aftermath of a wild night but will also be honest enough to check you when your drinking habits become problematic.
