Would you let a drunk friend drive home?

youre relaying this as if its the girls fault he drove while drunk. hes the one who became intoxicated.. hes the one who chose not only to drive to her house while intoxicated.. and then he again chose to drive after she tossed him out. i wouldntve gotten into the car with him to goback to my place to begin with.. and if he got in and drove his car.. called the cops and narced him out for drunk driving and had him arrested.

Just cause she was mad at him doesn't make it right for her to say hey take a cab. However it was his choice to drive well that intoxicated so she is not the one to blame. One thing about people who are drunk they will do it anyway. He should of thought before he got so intoxicated. He could of cabbed it there and left his car at home or left it at his girlfriends house. Don't blame the girl for letting him go it is ultimately his choice.

I'd like to hear the Girl's side of this story! The Guy got Rat A$$ed Drunk in the company of this Girl,and as He was incapable of driving Her home,She drove Herself Home in His car..And Left him there. Yep,that bit was truly selfish. But,Maybe She wasn't able to or was unwilling to Haul him inside in that state,especially when She was mad at him for getting to that state in the first place?..Maybe She left him in the car thinking He'd sleep it off? Maybe She thought He'd have some sense and wouldn't drive? She COULD have taken the keys to stop him Driving,but maybe She didn't want that much responsibility for Him,or having him turn up on the doorstep later,waking Her,(or the neighbours) demanding the keys back or wanting to stay the rest of the night? She's NOT responsible for him Driving Home.She doesn't seem to have cared about what might have happened Him,(She could have called a Cab) which doesn't say much for the relationship,but that's for another discussion... I heard of US Court cases where they sued the BAR STAFF for the actions of a Drunk..You Choose to Drink,You Choose to Drive.the 2 don't Mix. I don't Drink,and do "Designated Driver" duties at Family Parties..I wouldn't let someone I know drive Drunk.

hi there! about your question, if i let my drunk friend drive home, i would say no. But there is one night that we hang out with my friends and classmates, we drink and chill. And it was dawn when we decided to go home. My friend was drunk but he insisted that he wants to take us home. We refused on his idea but then later on we don't have a choice but to go on. Then he drive the car so fast, really fast. All of us inside the car was really nervous and my drunk friend was just laughing. After that incident i never ride his car especially when he's drunk. it's too nervous and scary to be on that situation.

Hi wayz12, I agree with you, she should never have let him drive. Drinking and driving is very dangerous and I would never leave a friend in that condition. Blessings.

No, that is the one major rule with all of my friends. My boyfriend is a cop, and most of our friends are as well, so they see first hand what happens when you drink and drive. There is always at least 1 sober person at our parties, some don't drink, some are pregnant, whatever the reason, there is always at least one person capable of driving. There is no reason for driving drunk, ever. Not only do you put your life in danger, but those of others as well. If you need to get somewhere that badly, call a cab. If the cab is too expensive or too much trouble, you really didn't need to go wherever it was in the first place.

Well, I have done this so many times and I will do . If I have gone some where with my friend and he would take drink, then its my duty to drive him home .... Thanks !!!

She sure soounds selfish...and what if she got pissed before reaching her home? she would have left him there itself, or donno what. In either case, it was selfisho f her. But i dont blame just her, even he shouldnt have got all that drunk and behave so irresponsibly...

no i wont allow my friend to rive home if he is drunk , i ould rather leave him home or ask him to stay at my home

i never do it like you

I would never let someone I know drive drunk if I was able to stop it. Non only could they kill themselves but they could kill someone else, and I would have to live with that as well since I didn't them from driving.

no simply because my mind couldnt take it if my friend was in a accident that i caused that i took part of , i would drive them back safely home and doing that out of anger is the worse what if the drinker would have gotten killed than how would she feel ? ..

No, she should never have allowed him to drive drunk. This could have have been her last time to see him. How selfish of her! I hope that she thinks much smarter from now on!

she shouldnt have done what she did. but then again, the bf shouldnt have drank too much since he knows he is driving. he too was irresponsible. i have a friend thats like that - a person who drives even they know they drank too much. she gets drunk and goes home very late at night or at dawn, thank god there are no more cars on the road. but still i worry for her safety because we would never know if there will be a car on the road and the their car would be going left or right. she manages to get home safe though because she would text if shes home already. i would get upset on how she behaves but i cant control it since im not with her all the time. sometimes when shes out on a drinking session with other friends and gets drunk she comes over to our house and we would let her sleep it off until shes sober so that she could drive safely. i dont understand it sometimes, i mean, if people would go out on a drinking session they shouldnt be bringing cars if they know or feel that they will have too much to drink! its just not right.

Since he was so irresponsible, and she was pissed and drove his car to her house. I would say the best thing to do would have been take his keys, leave him in his car passed out, and called a cab, friend, or relative to come get his drunk a$$ so he doesn't kill someone. #:)

I would never ever ever let anyone drive drunk if I could help it. Even if I hated the person I would not let them do it. Obviously because they could hurt another person with that stupid behavior. There have been times when I have come home to my old apartment (when I was living next door to some perpetually drunk neighbors) only to find some dumbbutt trying to get in his car to drive to the store drunk and I just explain that I will be driving them, thank you very much, gimme the keys! I didn't want to do it, but I would not be able to live with myself if I let them drive themselves.

Since he was nearly passing out as you said is it possible she expected him to pass out and not drive the car? I would probably have taken his keys or called the police when he drove away. All in all he could have walked somewhere or at least slept it off in his car. I too do not see blaming her. I dont know about your friend but I have not seen many drunks who would willing give up their keys without a scene either so.. Bottom line call a cab.

I think there is selfishness on the girl's part and she should have a little compassion to have offered a cup of coffee to make the guy sober before letting him drive home. Some would have offered him to sleep in her place but I must admit, I would also be frustrated because a guy who should be taking me out must not get drunk out of respect to me. Back then, I offered the guy a cup of coffee and even allow him to stay in my place for a while but once I knew he can handle it buy himself already, I would let him go home. The next time he'll ask me out, I would make up excuses or tell him straight that I don't wanna go out with him anymore.

nope. that girl's an ashole. i would've grabbed him and put him in my kitchen to sleep.

Erm.......In my country, drive drunk is totally sucide action, espacially in major city. For me , i will drive for my friend if possible.
