Journal 24
Luis is your age and is drunk. There might be times you can convince yourself that you’re okay — this wasn’t one of those times. He was drunk and he knew he was drunk. But that wasn’t the problem. He had gone to this party with his friends, including a designated driver, but they had already left. He was supposed to go with them, but he was having such a great time he told them he’d find another ride.
Now he was stuck with only five dollars and his cell phone. The only people left who could give him a ride were pretty wasted, themselves. He thought about calling a friend, but it was at least thirty miles (Riverside) to his house (Bell) and he didn’t want to impose. He couldn’t stay where he was because he didn’t even know the people who threw the party. If he called his parents…. well, he couldn’t even imagine how much trouble he would be in. They thought the party was nearby and had already told him not to get home too late or he was going to be grounded.
A girl he had met that night said her friend was dropping her off and could take him too. Unfortunately, she was pretty buzzed. Luis knew it was dumb to get into the car with a driver you know is drunk. Everyone knows that. But everyone doesn’t have to go thirty miles and then face grumpy parents. As far as he was concerned, he was in trouble either way. He needed to make a decision.
What Advice would you give him if he called you? If you were Luis and stranded, what would you do in this situation? Do you see yourself ever having this problem? why?
