Yes, because they're my friend and I don't want them to get hurt or harming another person. I'd just call them a cab.

I think that you do because you know that they are getting in car drunk and if they do that then you should tell them not to and call cab.

Yes and if they get in a car drunk and go into a car I'll grab them and call a cab or a ride for them so they dont die or get a DUI.

Yes, I think that stopping a friend from driving drunk, possibly injuring or killing themselves or others, is essential and if you let the, your as guilty as they are. Just call a cab seriously, dont take the risk. And that's what Gorilla-man thinks.

I definitely feel a responsibility to never allow my friends to drink and drive. I would want to keep them from hurting themselves and others, which is very well what could happen in a driving drunk situation. To be honest, I would really try to keep my friends from getting drunk in the first place, let alone allowing them to drive drunk. I'd probably take them home with me and try to help them sober up a little bit before taking them home.

Sort of because really it should be the parents responsibility to make sure they know how to be safe. But, also if it were at a party and you drove with the friend in his/her car you should take responsibility to bring him/her home or if you don't have a license call a trusted adult to pick you up.

Yes, because I can't allow someone like my friend, or anyone really, to get in a car drunk because chances are very high that someone, whether it be my friend or someone else, would get hurt, and they don't deserve it, even if my friend were drinking. I have a responsibility to my friend, and other people, and getting in a car drunk is not safe.

Yes, I feel that I do have a responsibility to not allow my friend drive drunk, because they could seriously injure themselves or someone else. I would either take their keys away, call a taxi, or bring them home myself. That way I know they are okay, and not making bad decisions.

I feel that I would have a huge responsibility for a friend who has been drinking because I wouldn't want my friend to die or get hurt, harm others, or get in trouble with the law. I also think that if my friend was drunk that I would drive them home if I was sober, and if I wasn't, I would call us both a cab. I think that even if there was a stranger who was very drunk and was going to drive I would give them a ride or call a cab for them because, even if I don't know them, they could be driving drunk and hit someone I DID know and care about.

Yes. Because we are friends and as a friend it is my responsibility to make sure that they stay safe and to make sure that they in turn do not harm anyone else. Because the consequences of letting a friend drive drunk may not just affect their lives, they could affect another person's life, without them even acknowledging it. For example, the 18 year old whose friends knew that she was drunk and still let her drive, she ended up killing a woman. A mother with a family. Thus affecting that whole family and everyone else that was close to her. That is why you should not let a friend drive drunk.

Yes, because i feel that i should care enough about them to help them home.I would hate to lose a friend in a accident due to drinking. I would either drive them home myself, or call there family to come get them. I always want my friends to be safe. They could also have the chance of getting pulled over by a cop, and getting a D.U.I, and getting arrested. I believe you should help any body you know that is driving drunk, when you know about it.
do i have a responsibility?I think yes becaues they can hert ather there people and there family's and hert there own family and people in there car and youerself
I don't think that this is MY responsibility. They are the one that got drunk and decided to get into their car. But, even though I don't think that it is my responsibility to stop them from getting in their car, it is my choice to stop them or not. I would CHOOSE to help my friend because I would hope that they would do the same for me. But I wouldn't say "Hey, if I'm getting wasted it's your job to not let me get in my car." I would hope that they would stop me. But, personally I would not make it my friends responsibility, I would hope that they would be a good enough person to help me. Even though I would never get drunk. I also believe that if you have a friend that gets drunk and thinks it is a good idea to get in the drivers seat of their car, than you should find new people to surround yourself with.

I think I would have a big responsibility for my friend if they were drunk. First of all, I wouldn't let them get drunk. But if they did, I would make sure they got home safely. I'd drive them home myself, or call someone I trust.
