angelDlite agony auntwell he has to grieve the loss of the relationship but his behaviour could land him in trouble. be a friend to him, plan activities that he will look forward to and give him another focus in his life. how long ago was their break up? speak to his other friends and get their support, hopefully they will stop encouraging him to go out drinking every night. get him outdoors for walks and any other activity, it will help him to feel better. you seem like a good friend, i hope he knows he is lucky to have you

breakups are really hard on some people. when my bf moved away and we decided not to keep up a relationship, I was devastated because I loved him. So I went into a tailspin of drinking and drugs, and I said some nasty things to him and also did some crazy ex girlfriend things too! I'm definitely not proud of what I did, but I pulled myself out of it and quit partying, stopped contacting him, and then finally somewhat moved on. I also grew from that experience.

But your friend sounds very troubled and angry. Counseling would really help, maybe you can suggest a counselor or push him to talk to someone. If he holds onto the anger and drinks every night, it's going to be harder for him to move on. He needs to stop saying things about his ex on facebook, that's pretty bad.

Just try to be there for him and help distract him from her. Otherwise there's not much you can do except let it go. He has to be the one who wants to get better.
