I used to a lot when I used to drink. The "designated driver" would be whoever didn't already have a drunk driving. And we did things intentionally that made it all the more dangerous. How embarrassing looking back. We could have killed innocent people. A family with kids even. So much of what I thought made someone a pussy or a man was completely twisted.
At 21 one of my best friends died riding passenger with someone else running from the cops on a motorcycle. A year later I got into a fight that cost me a year of my life in jail. There is a lot more i could add but the point would be the same. It takes a man to turn over your keys when you are drunk, to walk away from a fight, or to put the feelings of the people you love above yourself. I thank God for sparing my stupid ass who knows how many times.
All it takes is one bad decision to destroy your life and the lives of others. And nothing you do will ever be able to take it back. Next time you get in the car after drinking, don't think "can I drive well enough not to get pulled over?" but think "what if i hit someone, is it worth the risk?"
