Designated Driving Advantages
Being the designated driver is an important job. As the designated driver, you are responsible for making sure that everyone who is riding with you makes it home safely. You commit to staying sober while everyone else is drinking—this means no alcohol whatsoever. But being sober does not mean that you can’t have fun. There are definite advantages to being the designated driver.
Making Plans
A little advanced planning can make your time as a designated driver much more enjoyable. Be sure that the vehicle you will be driving has enough space for everyone in your party. And make sure that everyone chips in for gas money. $5 a person should be enough to help you fill up the tank and is a small price to pay compared to the cost of taking a cab or, worse, being arrested for a DUI.
While you’re out… Before heading to the main event of the evening, grab a bite to eat with your group. It will be good for those who will be drinking to have some food in their systems, and it will also provide a time for you to all enjoy some sober time together.
Once you arrive at the club, party or event, keep in mind that your role is not that of a babysitter. Make sure that you take the time to mingle, dance and have a non-alcoholic drink. Many bars like ours offer complimentary beverages like tea, soda or coffee to designated drivers. While you’re having fun, don’t forget to take funny and candid photos of the evening. Your sober vantage point of what your pals are up to will certainly make everyone laugh the next day.
When it’s time to leave, make sure that everyone is present and accounted for. If a person from your group decides to stay longer, be sure that the bar or club calls a cab for them. Enjoy the drive home, with everyone in great spirits.
The Best Part
The most rewarding part of being a designated driver is the knowledge that the people you care about got home safely and did not run the risk of being arrested for a DUI.
TIPS AND TRICKS
Unless you do not drink at all, abstaining from alcohol when everyone around you is drinking can be challenging. Be sure to bring your willpower with you and resolve not to drink, no matter what.
It might help to sip something that looks or even tastes like your favorite alcoholic drink. Enjoy some seltzer and cranberry in lieu of a cosmopolitan, or have a non-alcoholic beer. Keeping a drink in your hand will help you feel more like you’re part of the party and will also prevent others from sending you a drink or giving you a hard time about not drinking.
Eat a big meal before you head out on the town. If your stomach is full, you will feel less inclined to have a filling beer. Feel free to order something to eat at the bar, but be sure to stay away from bar snacks, such as nuts and popcorn or nuts, that are salty and will make you thirsty. The more thirsty you are, the more likely you will crave a cold one.
Stay busy and away from the bar. If you remove yourself from the area where booze is being served, you won’t be tempted to order any. Stay busy on the dance floor, playing pool or darts or meeting new people. Staying occupied and away from temptation will strengthen your resolve to stay sober.
BRAVO, HERO!
By agreeing to be the designated driver, you are selflessly taking on the responsibility of remaining sober and ensuring that your friends or family members get home safely. You are preventing potential injuries, DUIs, traffic accidents or even deaths by driving sober. You’re the hero of the evening. The gratification of doing the right thing and protecting the people you care about is worth more than risking it all for a cocktail, don’t you think?
