I was reading in the football forums that the NFLPA has a hotline where players can call to get rides if they have been drinking.
I know back in the day (and yes things have changed a bit) I very seldom let someone else drive me when I had been drinking. Usually because I could handle it better than the guys that I was actually drinking with. The idea of a designated driver had not yet come up. I no longer drink so I can honestly say that I do not know what I would do today. It is not a matter of drinking and driving, it is a matter of drinking too much and driving. Laws allow for some drinking and driving, just not too much. So I am pretty sure that I would in fact drink and drive. My issue would be would I know where to draw the line. My old history would say no.
So what about you guys. What do you do? In the last year have you had some drinks and drove? Have any of you had some drinks, felt you were not drunk, but called a cab or had someone else drive you? At anytime did you drive drunk?
Honestly, I do not think I would call anyone. It is good that I do not drink. I am blessed not to have hurt anyone when I did.
I am not judging. I am just curious on if/how things have changed.
