Often when you go out with a group of buddies, there’s usually one person who won’t be drinking that night, or at least not too much. While it’s of course their choice to drink or not to drink, do they have to act so arrogant about it? Seriously, whenever I’m drinking and someone isn’t drinking, it makes my drinking less fun and makes me look like the bad guy.
With mass events looming such as Christmas parties and family gatherings, end of year birthdays and New Years Eve celebrations, there are going to be a few of you that get left with the disappointed friend favour of being designated driver. Unfortunately, everyone has to do it once in a while and whether it means having a couple of drinks or none at all for all you P platers, there are some benefits of being designated driver. When I say some I mean very few.
On an ordinary night out, yes I would usually be drinking. I was all over the vodka lemonades and wet pussy shots, dancing like Beyonce and getting home when it was daylight. But as the nights get darker and the air is colder, I’ve swapped the heels for boots and the alcohol for my car keys and been the designated driver doing good deeds for my friends on a night out.
