When friend groups avoid confronting problematic behavior

My friend group from college gets together a few times a year and it used to be so easy, but now one person always drinks too much and gets messy and the rest of us text about it afterward but nobody wants to be the one to say something directly. Last time was really uncomfortable and I don't want to just start avoiding these gatherings but I also don't want to keep pretending everything's normal.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A community is slowly fracturing because the discomfort of a difficult conversation feels less manageable than the ongoing discomfort of watching someone struggle.
