Question

Critical Thinking: You are at a party, and the friend you came with has had several drinks. He appears to be sober and shows no symptoms of being even slightly impaired. He tells you that he has had a couple of cups of coffee and feels fine. You only live about 5 miles away. What should you do?

Answer 1

Alcohol is alcohol, and depedning on your weight, even just 2 drinks in your system would be enough for you to be considered impaired. Your friend may feel fine, but after several drinks they are not functioning as well as they should, and will still get in trouble with the police if they get pulled over and are breathalized. Tell your friend that you will drive home; if you both have had drinks, find someone else to drive you or call a taxi. It doesn't matter if it was 1 drink or 6, alcohol is alcohol.
