Drunk Tilt

Speaking as a guy who has gone on epic tilts (back when party only offered 2/4nl with $200 cap i tilted of 4k in a couple horus once) has anybody ever felt obliged to tell somebody to stop tliting and save their money? I was playing a series of HU matches tonight and after i beat a clearly wasted guy for the 5th time in $100 HU i told him to drink some water and go to sleep (not in an unkind manner). I understand this is -EV, but has anybody else felt compassionate enough to discourage a clear tilter from further play?

Only when some 18yo kid said that he had to win back money to pay off his losings.

For everyone else I just assume they can afford it.

I played my landlord heads up NL while both extremely drunk. I don't think I felt like telling him to quit.... I didn't have to pay rent this month. Anyway drink pots are a standard procedure at our local cardroom/bar.
