It most likely means you or your friend is in distress or it could mean your friend is suffering
Nearly all dreams refer to the dreamer rather than to the person whose image is seen in the dream. In this example, the drowning friend represents the dreamer's own feeling of being overwhelmed. This might refer to being "flooded with work" or perhaps to a mortgage that is "under water," or even "drowning in sorrow."
Two basic principles can guide all dream interpretation: dreams use symbols, and dreams are about the dreamer. Although this dream appears to be about the dreamer's son's friend, one needs to look for how the images in the dream relate to the dreamer. The "friend" of the son might actually represent the dreamer, as the parent wants to be a "friend" to the son. Drowning usually represents feelings of being overwhelmed. So the meaning of the dream might be that the dreamer longs to be a friend to the son, but feels overwhelmed by the effort.
