What is the Sunnah regarding sitting with those who drink intoxicants to advise them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My friends drink intoxicants and narcotics. Is it permissible for me to sit with them to advise them?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, then he is not to sit at a spread in which Khamr is circulated.من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الاخر فلا يجلس على مائدة يدار عليها الخمر.
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2801Hasan (Darussalam)
You can advise them in a situation other than this; you can advise them in another place. Do not sit with them while they are drinking intoxicants. You say, "It is so that I can advise them." No. If the intoxicants are gone and it is over, then advise them. And sit with them if they have no intoxicants or anything else. Yes.
