Is he thinking about me?

So long story short, I had a date with a guy I’ve been friends with for a long time. He had gotten out of a long relationship and said he wasn’t ready for anything. After two weeks of no contact, he started sending me snapchats (nothing specific, probably just mass snapchats people send out but he was including me on them). All of a sudden after a month of getting some every single day, it stopped. Then after another two weeks, he send me one. It was from around 5am, it looked like he had been out drinking with some friends. Then I didn’t get any all week until Friday night (like 6 of them) and he was with friends all night and drinking I think. Then one more the next night at a bar. Do you think he stopped sending some mainly because he’s trying not to think of me, but when he’s drinking he can’t help it?
