1. If at the time he asked to drink from your utensil, he was not drinking alcohol, then the utensil will not be impure. It is natural to feel uncomfortable to allow someone to drink from your utensil knowing that he consumes alcohol. It is better for you to keep separate utensils for him and whenever he comes over you allow him to eat and drink from those utensils.
