"Thanks, man," he answers appreciatively. Not just for the encouragement, but also the.. well, caring. And being cool about it. Nice to have someone who doesn't judge.

He manages to grab the bottle before Johnny tips over, so he doesn't get covered in alcohol. And it's impossible not to smile when he comes crashing against him. If he were sober, he might find this behavior annoying, but right now he's drunk enough himself for it just to be amusing. Clearly not quite drunk enough to match Johnny, though.

He grins and puts an arm around Johnny's shoulders to stabilise him a bit, then takes another good swig of the bottle. They've gone through quite a bit of it now. "S'okay. I'm pretty drunk, too." And enjoying it a lot more when he's smiling than when they're trying to cover such heavy subjects while his brain feels fuzzy.
