Getting drunk with your best friends is an experience in and of itself. It takes us on wild and ridiculous adventures with the people we trust with our lives. Each one of you plays a vital role in making sure the night goes (relatively) smoothly.

1. The Mother Hen

She always has snacks and keeps tabs on everyone's water intake. If you ever lose her, she's probably comforting a crying stranger in line for the bathroom. She makes sure everyone gets home safely and has no problems asking a dude for his address and mother's maiden name before he's allowed to take her friend home in an Uber.

2. The Instigator

She's the reason everyone is out drinking in the first place. She's usually the one who handles her liquor best (from practice) and she's often found urging everyone to just have one (or four) more drink(s).

3. The One Who Always Texts Her Ex

Having just gotten out of a relationship, she's still terribly heartbroken, but is putting on a brave face. She's definitely not in the best "going out" state of mind, but keeps it together...until the booze hits. As soon as the liquid courage sets in, she's got her fingers glued to her cell phone sending texts she's sure to regret in the morning.

4. The Shakira

Giving ABBA's "Dancing Queen" a literal meaning, she somehow manages to find a dance floor even where there isn't a dance floor.

5. The Philosopher

The Philosopher can usually be seen sipping whiskey and analyzing everyone's choices. Be warned, if The Philosopher ever corners you she will attempt to play therapist and figure out where your issue with authority stems from. Do yourself a favor and run far away.

6. The Reluctant Homebody

This is SO not her scene, but tired of feeling like a buzzkill, she indulges her friends. She'd much rather be at home watching "The Office" for the 737,081,271th time on Netflix, but alas, here she is. Just don't expect her to be the life of the party. She's giving you as much as she possibly can. Be grateful she left the house.

7. The MMA Fighter

She's the firecracker that everyone is hoping doesn't accidentally set off. She will go all "Jersey Shore" smackdown on you if you look at her incorrectly. Keep an eye out for this one.

8. The "I'm Not Even Drunk!" Girl

Honey, yes you are. That's why you're shouting at us right now.

9. The Joey Tribbiani

Homegirl is always starving. By her second drink, she's already talking about what kind of pizza she plans to order when everyone is done for the night.

10. The Horny Toad

She isn't just thirsty, she's full on dehydrated. She will disappear from the group at some point and reemerge with a make out buddy.

11. The Aspiring Rapper

Under the false impression that alcohol turns her into Nicki Minaj, you can find this one loudly rapping along to every song played. Fully convinced she's nailing it, she'll make sure she gets her performance on Snapchat too...that is until she sees in the next day and hears she's more Iggy than Nicki. Ouch.

12. The BFF

She loves everyone. Everyone is her best friend in the whole world and she's just so happy. Strangers aren't strangers, they're just new BFFs. "Can I tell you something? I love you so much" is her anthem. Everyone could use a good dose of The BFF and her joy.
