Would you guys rather her get into the car and drive herself home drunk Chat Icon



She could call a car service.

I know when my plans change and someone knows in advance that I am not driving them home, yes, I would do it if they had been drinking, but I would be annoyed that they were not responsible enough to make other arrangements.



But she said her sister was spending the night at her house, no? So wouldn't they all be driving back there together??? Chat Icon

I basically just think her sister overreacted, unless there is something that is being left out of the story.

I can see some peoples point of view that people just assume that because you haven't been drinking you will drive them home BUT...this is her sister. If I was the sister I would have assumed I was already driving her and DH home. It's just what sisters do. NO questions asked.



I agree. I'm not going to get mad at my sister for asking me to drive her and her DH home especially if they have been drinking. You did the responsible thing by asking her....I don't see why she got upset.

I'm going to play devil's advocate: Maybe she's upset that you asked her to drive and she was a guest? Or, maybe she would have been okay with it if you asked in advance?



Coming from somebody that rarely drinks it is very frustrating when people just ASSUME you will always be the designated driver. Ask in advance next time.



I agree. If she is "always the driver" maybe it just bothers her that you always assume she will drive you home, no questions asked.

At a party like this, when I obviously know in advance I will be drinking, I would have planned ahead.

I tell people all the time that there is no reason to drink and drive call me and I will pick you up even if it's 4 am.

My cousin got married last month.. I drove one of her friends home that I have only met once. I HAD no PROBLEM doing it. I was sober and at the end of the wedding I was worried about how she would get home.

When I went to my christmas party I had way to much to drink. I asked someone for a ride home the said no problem and I left my car there.


Sometimes you drink a little to much IT HAPPENS and it's better to ask someone then to get in the car and drive yourself putting OTHER people in Danger. If her sister had a problem driving them to the same place they were going she could have asked someone else to drive them or called them a cab (who by the way will drive you home for free)
