The Drunken Newt

In the last week we have let a buddy stay at our place to keep him out of the cold.  Regret set in pretty quickly when the drunken newt drank my husband's last beer, stole cigarettes that didn't belong to him, and lost the house keys. I knew this drunken newt had a drinking problem, but I had no idea it was this bad. He invited us out Saturday night to come out, and have a couple drinks with him. He was so trashed before we even got there. He had already downed a 24 pack before he got to the bar. I was floored to see him so trashed. We got every one back to our place just so the drunken newt wouldn't get any more wasted than he already was. Mutual friends of our's were going to go to another bar in St. Paul. My husband and I both agreed that wasn't the best idea for the drunken newt. So we convinced them to come hang out at our place. Every thing was ok until the drunken newt kept trying to leave, as he was seven sheets to the wind, he would have gotten arrested for public drunkenness. We pleaded, and tried to make him stay. He was determined to leave. So I gave up and handed him the house keys, and said to him " I can't make you stay, you are a grown ass man, but if you get arrested we are not bailing your ass out of jail. We simply can't afford it." He kept getting up, and walking to the door, but didn't leave. In that time frame he some how lost the house keys!!!! My husband is livid at this point. I am doing my best to keep every one calm. Being the person I am I convince him to sit down, and chill. We would look for the keys in the morning. My husband took our friends home. It was right after they left that the drunken newt decided to have a drunken hate spell..... He wanted to kill himself (good goddess, help me now). I was at a loss for words for only a second until my Leo anger hit me full force. I began to get in his face, and tell him to shut his mouth. At this point my eyes were burning with tears, and started to shake him. I was livid he would ever say something so stupid. I got him to calm down. My anger shut his ass up. My husband returned home, and proceeded to help me tell the drunken newt that he needed some sleep. We would deal with it more in the morning. 
    Morning came, and well..... This is how it all went down. We turned the house upside down looking for the keys, cleaned up any mess from the night before, and the drunken newt left to pick up his car from our mutual friends house. He left after downing a beer, and taking two with him. He came back two hours later drunk, high, and pissed off. He had crashed his car!!!!! At this point my husband and I had no clue what to really think about our drunken newt besides the obvious points. The drunken newt then passed out on our living room floor snoring to his heart's content. We just couldn't understand how some one could just keep drowning themselves in liquor so contently, and blame the world for his problems. Being of logical and sound mind, my husband and I decided to not to help him fix the tire. We didn't want the drunken newt to leave drunk off his little newt ass. The rest of the night went ok until this morning. 
I woke up to take my husband to work as usual to find the plasma screen still on! Every one knows that plasma screens can't be left on for hours at a time, it will melt the insides! My husband's first words this morning was "I am going to kick him in the teeth!" What a wonderful way to start my morning. My husband and I discussed our drunken newt on the way to work. We have come to the conclusion that we have to make him find some where else to stay. The stress of a drunken newt is too much for us. We are simple people. We worked hard to have a simple life. We can't afford to have some one mess that up for us. When the drunken newt wakes, I have to make him search for the keys. Once we both get home we will be kicking him out. I feel bad but at the same time my sanity is worth more to me. The friendship with heal, and the drunken newt can cast his darkness on some else. 


What are your thoughts on this? Do you think we are doing the right thing?
