    Default Who here is a designated driver?

    I was one tonight. Drove three different trips to bring people home, and the roads were **** due to snow.

    I think I should have had a tip jar now that I think of it.

    Designated drivers- the life-saving nerds! I usually end up driving my friends around because the whole taxi thing is wasted money and I hate hangovers and I'm a miserable killjoy.

    Planned to make more trips but the hostess got some other people covered. I think they're staying at her place or walking as I was the only sober dude there (and none of those people would drive drunk).

    I avoid that position like the clap, few things annoy me more than being the sole sober person in a vehicle...especially drunk women who think the radio is their domain and not that of the driver...modern R&B makes me want to veer into oncoming traffic...

    Thankfully I am a severe alcoholic, so I don't often find people trying to convince me to ride them about, the key thing is to present a front of cheery disregard for human life, give the impression that not only do you consider their car an oversized go-kart, and the highway a demolition derby, but that in the incredibly likely event of a horrific wreck, you will somehow find a way to be the only non-disfigured survivor, really scares 'em off.

    Seriously though...I generally take a taxi once I've had more than a 6 pack...or so...I've specialized in scaring the living daylights outta taxi drivers in Wilmington, 2 AM rolls around, several thousand people stumble drunkenly into the street trying to find rides, some groups having the foresight to call ahead for a van taxi, we look for likely packs lingering on the corner, their van pulls up, the driver unwittingly throws open the back doors...and I fling myself headfirst into the backseat followed by 10 friends, good old fashioned taxi jacking, later losers!

    I usually get someone to drive me home. But I know the dangers of drunk driving, I've actually slept in my car twice, instead of trying to drive drunk. This is also helped by the fact I don't have a license, and it wouldn't be good to get pulled over drunk, and without a license .

    you weren't a designated driver you were a taxi service. to me a designated driver is one person who doesn't drink so they can drive home not THE person who doesn't drink so they can drive everyone home.

    **** went down pretty bad last night...

    Let's just say we had two people we had to watch to make sure they didn't die, and one person who gave up drinking decided to drink again and I had to take her home early so there wouldn't be a third person being watched. And then I brought people home whose driver left early but they could go since they were watching one of the two.

    I dont believe in designated drivers, if you drink, you walk home.

    I like walking home with mates when were all roaring drunk anyway, its funny.

    Swaying as we walk, falling over, pushing each other, stopping to piss every 10 metres or so, whistling at people (man or woman), getting lost.

    Its part of the fun.

    I'm never because I don't have a license. It pisses my only friend with one off to no end!

    My God it sucks don't it? I hate being designated driver.


    AND I got arrested walking home once. Sad truth is if I drove home, I would've been fine. They were looking for walkers.

    Walkers with baseball bats up their sleeves...? I bet if they frisked you half a sports store would fall out.
