Public transport other than cabs don't really exist out this way after about 7pm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515544 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 23:03:18 +0000 jedeve 515544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am allergic to alcohol so I always dd. even if dh has just had a drink or two, why not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515474 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:19:47 +0000 MrsBrewer 515474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am normally always the DD which is fine with me! I get horrible hangovers and I hate dealing with them. I still have a great time though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515463 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 22:16:03 +0000 doodlepoodle 515463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm spoiled in the fact that my hubs is almost ALWAYS the DD. He's always saying that he had his fun back in the day...but hello, I had my fun, but I'm not done yet hehe! ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515394 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 21:12:47 +0000 wheres_c 515394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually assign a DD or dont drink.</p> <p>If we can we do cabs/hotels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515388 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 21:08:34 +0000 sera_87 515388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we make sure we have cab money, no matter what it costs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515358 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:49:31 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 515358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH doesn't drink &amp; doesn't drive either. He lost his license for 15 years for his 3Rd dui. We met in the program. I drink occasionally &amp; make sure I either drink in moderation or have a ride. I rarely have a ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515350 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:44:06 +0000 rachiecakes 515350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I didn't live within T (subway) limits and no cabs, I wouldn't drink or I'd get a room. I don't trust most people to not drink when I'm out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515346 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:42:17 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 515346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one drink so I always drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515330 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:27:50 +0000 runsyellowlites 515330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I used to go out I would park my car overnight &amp; take a cab the 45 minute drive home. Figured the cab ride was still cheaper than jail &amp; WAY better than hurting myself or someone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515329 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:27:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 515329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is off to have a guys night. They all live across town. His solution is to crash on one of their couches but then he uses that as an excuse to drink a lot and it cuts into our day the next day (but I want him to be safe and not drive so if this is needed its understandable but shouldn't be the default). Is just that tough growing up phase of needing to learn how to have a few drinks and not get drunk and be responsible (both driving and to family time and responsibilities). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515324 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:24:08 +0000 autumnlove 515324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live too far from civilization so I don't drink or I only have one drink early in the night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515323 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:23:24 +0000 prettylizy 515323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually assign a DD (and it's been me since June 2011) or we get a room where were going to be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515322 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:22:33 +0000 Bao 515322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone with us always ends up being the designated driver...a lot of times it's me because I'm not a huge drinker anyway, so I'm fine with that. If I decide I want to have a little more fun then usual, DH will take it easy and drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515321 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:22:17 +0000 mauri 515321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in NYC, so we're totally spoiled with cab/walking/or public transportation. I'll never drunk drive, since I don't even have my license yet. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-out-drinking-how-to-get-home#post-515319 Sat, 19 Jan 2013 20:20:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 515319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you go out drinking with friends how do you get home (assuming you don't live close enough for a cheap cab or walking). </p> <p>There's been a crack down on DUI around here and I really know what damage that would do to our family let alone if someone got hurt. </p>
