That sounds like it absolutely sucks. It really helps to be around people who don't go so crazy. A few years back I moved to a new town and fell in with a group of friends who made it very, very difficult for me to not drink, partly because it was so much fun, but also because they were dependent on it and I feel like they needed everyone else to be like them so they didn't feel so bad about their own lives.

I only stopped drinking so much because I moved again. The fresh start allowed me to form friendships that weren't based on drinking. I made sure to surround myself with people who weren't like my old friends. I know moving isn't always an option, but choosing to be around the right people usually is.
