your best friend sounds like the type who has never handled problems with ease. She may just be in a state of recovery or shock, depending on how close she was with her granny. Your friend may just feel that hanging with "bad girls" and doing drugs or drinking will help her to feel better, considering alcohol is a depressant. Some of that nonsense behavior may have also come from unheard issues at home or at school. She may have had a major plummet in grades that led to a terrible fight over responsibility, and felt that she would make her parents pay. It may also be that those are her choices. It usually depends on what kind of life she has led. If her relatives and friends drink, she may want to. The only thing i can conclude with is that your friend is just in a state of recovery. Though she may have secrets, you should respect that, but you can still be worried for her. It shows her that you care.
