At what point is talking about another employee's business going "too far"?

So I've been at my job for 2+ years. I'm a college student working part time at a law firm. I've seen a LOT of employees come and go in my time here. My boss is fantastic! Super nice and awesome. But we've had a lot of issues with the other people we've hired to work part time alongside me. They're all young and in college, too.

One girl (long long long story), caused a ton of drama by never showing up and giving excuses like "I'm sorry, I got stabbed on the way to work." And another always called in sick and spent 95% of the time "on the job" doing her homework instead of getting stuff done. A few of the others have been good, but they only worked for a few months at a time before getting a new job and moving on.

I kind of keep my head down, I don't want to get into any trouble. I like my job, and I like the people. Today, though, I faced an interesting dilemma.

My boss texted me at 7p.m. tonight (we're friends-ish so we do text occasionally), and asked, "hey have you heard from X today?" She's the other part time employee that works on days when I'm out of office. I replied, "No, I haven't." And my boss asked me to reach out because she's "worried" about her. Which is understandable. The other girl is young, new to college, and the weather today was EXTREME. So it's understandable that she would be worried.

Instead of texting her, I was like, oh, I have her on snapchat, let me check. And it turns out, this girl was out getting BLITZED last night. Her snap stories are ridiculous, with captions like, "ha i'm out here drinking like I don't have school tomorrow." Keep in mind, she's under 21. Most of the stories were from late last night, but the most recent one is from 5 hours ago. It's her in bed, begging someone to bring her Starbucks.

So I texted my boss back and was like, "Oh, she's on snap. She's fine as of 5hrs ago." I didn't want to say, "Oh, she got really loaded last night and is likely sleeping off a hangover." And my boss essentially replied, "Ok, she was on her phone clearly, why didn't she answer me? I even texted her to check if she was alright."

And that's kind of where we left it. But it got me thinking, when is it going too far? I feel like it's ridiculous that I'm kind of put in this position in the first place. I could rat her out and be like, "Oh, she's really drunk." But at the same time, I don't want her to get fired. On the other hand though, if she's going to be an unreliable employee, that makes it more work for me. I'm just really conflicted about a) what to do about her (she also called in sick on Tuesday, which is not helping her case), and b) how to handle situations like this with my boss? I just don't know how to feel about being in this position in which I'm "friends" with her, but also I have to keep tabs on her. Has anyone else been in a similar position?
