When I was newly-legal, I had a group of friends and we would go out dancing/drinking nearly every night. We rotated who was the designated driver. We never had a problem, usually the DD avoided alcohol completely but sometimes would have 1 or 2 over 5 or 6 hours. One night, it was just 2 of us that wanted to go out, and my friend said she'd be the dd. I went a little bit overboard that night, and was seriously drunk. Ran into some other friends at the bar, and my original friend and I had a hard time finding each other at the end of the night. But we did, and she drove me home. The next morning I called her, talked about feeling like crap and she said, "Me too". I was like, "Oh, did you catch a cold or something?" And she told me, "Oh, no, I was every bit as drunk as YOU were last night! I don't even REMEMBER driving home."
I really had NO idea at all. I was too drunk myself to make any kind of judgement call on how drunk my friend was. And, out of our group of friends, I had never run into that kind of irresponsibility. I would never have suspected my friend was that stupid. I trusted her, since she was the dd, to be sober. I'm just so thankful she didn't kill us that night, and other people as well. So stupid! But yeah, if YOU are drunk, you are totally incapable of making a judgement call about if someone else is sober or not.
