Is it normal to go out and not be able to drink without getting wasted?

So a friend claims that he is normal because he does not drink everyday but whenever we go out to parties he gets Faced with a capital F'd up! (Faced means sh!t faced it is an American colloquialism that refers to being drunk) An example of his antics is; one party we went to he got drunk and I took his keys so he pretended to be sober. It was an Oscar winning performance and we all drove off. I didn't realize how drunk he was until he had plowed over a median onto a grass median and hit a famous sign which made news the next day. we fled , with me driving of course,and they still haven't found who did it. To his credit he hasn't hit any signs since but he still goes out and gets face'd once a month, which he equates to being normal. Am I worrying too much for his well being? Or is his behavior normal? I have been called "little Mom" by other friends before :/
