I talked to my friend. She didn't necessarily get completely on board with the guy being a gross creeper, but she did say that in the future all I have to do is tell her I'm uncomfortable and we'll go/ditch whoever. I knew I wasn't going to get her to see the danger I saw, at least not totally, but I feel like this was a good outcome.

That seems like a pretty good outcome. I am still so weirded out that he licked her hand. I think if Boyfriend licked my hand in public I would be weirded out.
At least she well now respect your wishes and boundries... But I thought you told her you were uncomfortable that night?
I don't think I said that while we were still around them. I think what changed her approach was me telling her it was still bothering me the next day. I also told her what I'd said here yesterday.
I know I can't change her mind about the perception of guys like this, but I think this us a good first step.

If you find yourself in a questionable situation again and you tell her that you're uncomfortable, make sure you explain why (after you're out of there so she doesn't try to change your mind). Hopefully she really thinks about why you're uncomfortable and she'll start thinking about the types of situations she puts herself in.
ETA: It's too early for the words into sentence forming. I re-arranged some words so what I typed makes sense.

Chirp that's a great idea. I'll definitely do that.
