Do you ever feel like maybe your best mate is a little bit of a shitty influence on you? We all have friends who when you say "fine, I'll go for one pint" they make you stay out till 3am doing shots. But what about the sly little feckers of mates who you somehow always end up at dodgy after sessions with? While it's good to have friends who will take you out of your comfort zone and get you trying new things, it's not so good when you've ended up in A&E getting your stomach pumped because of them. So, here are a few red flags that might indicate that your BFF might not be the best of influences on you...
