How on earth is he supposed to avoid speaking to women? Drew does it, Tim does it, they all do it. Do you want him to stay home or wear a chastity belt? You're holding him to higher standards than everyone else. When he kisses a drunk girl in a club on the cheek, he's doing what both male and female housemates are having to do with monotonous regularity. And if he drinks more than he should, then he's behaving like many his age. I don't know yours, but I'm surprised at the level of your disapproval of all Ed's actions.
