How
to stop a drunk from driving
-
If
it is a close friend, try and use a soft, calm approach
at first. Suggest to them that they’ve had too much to drink
and it would be better if someone else drove or if they
took a cab.
-
Be
calm. Joke about it. Make light of it.
-
Try
to make it sound like you are doing them a favor.
-
If
it is somebody you don’t know well, speak to their friends
and have them make an attempt to persuade them to hand over
the keys. Usually they will listen.
-
If
it’s a good friend, spouse, or significant other, tell them
that if they insist on driving, you are not going with them.
Suggest that you will call someone else for a ride, take
a cab, or walk.
-
Locate
their keys while they are preoccupied and take them away.
Most likely, they will think they’ve lost them and will
be forced to find another mode of transportation.
-
If
possible, avoid embarrassing the person or being confrontational,
particularly when dealing with men. This makes them appear
vulnerable to alcohol and its effects.
