I had a co worker who did that to me and I finally cut him off. I simply don't like the lying. I do not mind the asking.
If it is your car, ultimately it is your decision. But if it involves drinking, fuck what people think, your car or not, it is not worth the risk. No one is going to pay for your lawyer, and even being a passenger in many states if you step out of the car you can get a drunk in public ticket.
I have a simply policy. I get a cab or get a ride, and I don't give a fuck if others offer me a ride home, if they have been drinking, I refuse to get in that car with them even if am not driving.
If someone gives you a hard time about that, they are not your friend. Friends don't get you involved in their risk taking.
Oh this isn't a dilemma about drinking and driving, I'd never do that, I've already decided I'm not drinking tonight whatever happens.
I rarely ever break the speed limit just out of sheer terror of getting points on my license so drinking and driving won't ever be a consideration.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
