Both Ronan and Adam have their own ways of destroying themselves. Ronan's are more tangible. Adam's are more internal. He's his own worst enemy. As horrible as this facet of their personalities are, it's also just a part of their makeup. Kavinsky is no longer in the picture. If he ever were, it wouldn't be pretty. Adam would consider punching him in the face. Kavinsky would retaliate in a way that he'd think would impress Ronan. Adam is no match for Kavinsky and he knows it.

They get out of the dorm and head toward Ronan's car. Adam isn't the kind to drink to get shit faced except when he's only around Ronan and he feels safe enough to do so. He'd watched his dad get shit faced enough for a lifetime and it put a sour taste for it in his mouth. Also, he likes to be in control of himself in general. So he probably won't drink too much.

"I'll just have one of whatever you have." Adam says, sliding into the passenger seat of the car. "There's a liquor store two blocks East of here once you get out of the parking lot."
