Draining coolant...?

Hey guys i need some help. saturday my car was running a bit hot and i was on my way to prom soooooo my friend ran into a gas station and picked up some coolant... a few hours later when we got back (i road with him) i popped the hood and my friend poured it in... problem being its 50/50 mixture and he filled the whole reservoir without adding water. now i don't know what happens if u run like this but im sure it can't be good. does anybody know the easiest way to drain the coolant reservoir? I found this post https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...=drain+coolant but still can't figure it out.. thanks in advance for anyone who can help me out

anybody? :-(

bump i need some help guys!

50/50 is half coolant half water mix already, so you shouldnt have to add any water unless you rather have more of a water mixture
