I have a crisis.

[Jackpine Radical]

The local party gang is having a viewing event at a local bistro. It would be fun to go out & join them, but if I do, I'm likely to get too bombed to drive home. I REALLY don't need a DUI or something.

What should I do?

[tekisui]

1. Call a cab, get a ride from a friend, or stay home.

[helderheid]

5. What you said.

[Coexist]

12. cab sounds about right.

[Arkansas Granny]

17. I always advise taking a cab if you've been drinking. Much cheaper than a DUI.

[DevonRex]

First choice: STAY HOME. Second choice: TAKE A CAB.

Both ways so you don't have to leave your car at the bar.

[Clio the Leo]

2. Stay home or dont drink .... and live to see election day.....

.... I am LITERALLY being more careful when I drive. I often catch myself saying, "slow down..... dont want to die and miss it!" lol

[TheKentuckian]

3. Catch a ride with someone less blitzed

or cab it up.

[SurfingAtWork]

4. I'll take call a taxi for 500 Alex!

[Tallison]

6. Can you cab there and cab back?

Or drive there and cab back to get your car in the AM?

Perhaps once we're x points ahead, we can redirect surplus campaign funds to the party cab fund?

[LiberalHeart]

7. Do you really have to ask?

[Shine]

8. You're planning on getting bombed?? Why not just limit your drinks and go?

you do have a choice over how much you drink, you know.

just sayin. :toast:

[MarkInCA]

9. Call a tow truck

That way you have your car at home in the morning. Not any more expensive than a cab sometimes.

[Tallison]

10. So you've done this?

Never occurred to me. :scratches head: Kind of clever.

[MarkInCA]

28. No, I heard about this after getting a DUI

That was 12 years ago. Never driven with more than 2 beers since.

:beer:

[Tallison]

30. Certainly cheaper than a DUI

Good to you taking a lesson from a mistake that turned out better than it could have.

[MNDemNY]

16. If your in Mineapolis, Call "Bobby and Steves" they do this all the time.

If you have AAA, Pull your battery cable, and ask them to tow your car home for "repair".

[jrockford]

21. Whenever I stopped there, they always have fox news playing at the pumps nt

[MNDemNY]

31. It varies from day to day.

[IndependentDem]

24. yep, and it may be free if you have AAA. nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

11. Drink at home.... you know you will want to drink when you see her trainwreck

I can't afford Taxis in this town it would cost me $70 to go to a debate party
that is happening in my town.

[nam78_two]

13. Stay home and get toasted-nothing is worth something as awful as a DUI

And I have reluctantly decided that as early is 8 is, I am going to get toasted...this is going to be one of those events to witness drunk :D.

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. I think there will be a lot of celebrating when its over because

it will be over for McCain

[KansDem]

14. Remember: "DUI" is nothing more than DU, with an "I"

I hope this helps...

[Speck Tater]

15. Order non-alchohalic beer. NT

[az chela]

19. Go with a friend ,make that several friends

[Jackpine Radical]

20. Thanks for your input, everyone.

I'm gonna get a bottle of good wine & watch it at home.

[myrna minx]

25. I'm having neighbors over so no one has to drive, because the wine will be flowing tonight. .

I think you've made the right decision.
:hi:

[Life Long Dem]

22. First off, do you need to ask?

Second point, don't ask about drinking and driving.

:puke:

[minnesota_liberal]

23. Just don't play any drinking game that requires you to take a shot...

whenever Palin says something stupid or refuses to answer a question.

That would get anyone hammered!

[polichick]

26. Doesn't your gang choose a designated driver?

[Uben]

27. Go ahead and get bombed

......find an ugly rich woman and agree to marry her if she'll drive you home.

[melody]

29. Well, your options are pretty limited

Barring any point to point flights or trains available, you've got ...

a) a horse -- cheap on gas but hard to store in the city

b) Segway* -- gotta be near an outlet

c) horse and buggy (see A)

d) a pogo stick (that's gonna hurt going home, though)

e) skateboard (see D)

f) Strong litter carriers to lift you above the streets (see a and d)

g) A cab

I'd go with g personally.


*This only applies to non-Republicans.

32. If you don't drink, you won't get drunk- call me crazy - nt
