So really his only option was to call the police or just let her go. You may have called the cops on your friend, but I'd bet you're in a vast minority in that situation...
However, I will agree that he likely could have handled everything up until that point in a better way. Canceling a drunk person's drink order is a recipe for disaster  |
When it comes to drinking and driving I see things in a very black an white manner. My junior year in high school I went to a party with my friends. My girlfriend went to the same party with her girlfriends (very small town so our entertainment options were limited). It was during wrestling season so I wasn't drinking. My girlfriend got drunk and towards the end of the evening she was getting ready to drive home. I knew she had been drinking and shouldn't be driving, but instead of doing the right thing and either drive her home or at the very least not let her drive I just told her to be careful. She pulled out in front of a semi on her way home and her and the two girls with her were killed instantly. I'll never forgive myself for that.
