Tell him in a direct way that focuses on how his behavior makes you feel rather than judging him or condemning the behavior. For example, don't say something like, "God, I'm sick of your bragging! It totally annoys him!"\n\nInstead, give him some concrete examples of things he's said that annoy you. Tell him specifically why that behavior is annoying to you. If you can keep the focus on neutral facts and your own feelings rather than accusing him, you lessen the chance that he will get upset.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com

Tell him being a heavy drinker is nothing to brag about and hes just being a jerk and wasting money. I mean come on.\n(No rudeness meant)

Ignore it...rise above it, otherwise you just lower yourself to their level.

Let out yourself, but don't do anything foolish. Make people notice you more. Win a contest or something.

ACT FRIENDLY.  Don't remind them of their visciousness.\n\nBut don't trust them about anything.

Whatever you do don't let people know that it bugs you because all that will do is make them what to do it more. Just smile and let it go. Eventually people will give up on it. Good luck

Listen first.  I mean really listen to what they are saying.  Try to see it their way, and agree with them.  Something like "I would have probably felt the same way!"  Then ask what you can do to make it better. \n\nThey probably just need to vent.  Just DON'T take it personally.  Some people of course are completely ridiculous and you can't help those ones, but most are somewhat reasonable, especially if they think you care.

take it with a grain a salt. laugh about it. say yeah that was me. oh well, you can't win them all. if you don't make a big deal about it then other people won't make a big deal about it. don't let people see you are embarrassed. that will just feed into the torment. just be like yeah she got me right in the face it hurt like hell.

Being yourself. Not putting on an act. They know and it's quite unfair to them.

you don't say anything to people like that. the best thing to do is ignore them and act like you did'nt even hear them. giving them a comment only let's them know they have got to you and encourages them to keep on.

You put up with it because they have done it so much you think you deserve it, but YOU DON'T. Get yourself a very small recorder and record them when they are speaking to you in this way. Let THEM hear how they sound and then ask them, how would YOU like to be spoken to this way!! They may hear each other speaking to you this way, but they don't "hear" themselves.

Just ignore them, it usually distracts them when they're trying to get your attention.\n\nFocus on what you're there to do; win.

Just tell them they have to think about other people once in a while. They might get defensive at first, but they'll think about it and come around.

Just listen, don't say much unless you REALLY need to defend yourself. Wait till they cool down and THEN discuss your opinion. I've found this is the best way to handle this situation. Because after you let them cool down they are MUCH more likely to agree with you.
