The article discusses a party host's attempt to discourage drunk driving through a game involving a breathalyzer, which backfired when a guest who tested excessively over the limit refused a ride home and was subsequently arrested. Although the host aimed to promote safety, Miss Manners critiques the approach, noting that it trivialized the seriousness of driving under the influence. She suggests more responsible measures, such as serving less alcohol or involving friends to ensure impaired guests get home safely. The conversation underscores the complexities of managing alcohol consumption in social settings.
Miss Manners noted that framing drunk driving as a joke through an alcohol-related party game inadvertently trivializes the serious consequences of impaired driving.
In light of your experience, Miss Manners suggests that future gatherings reconsider the amount of alcohol served and involve nearby guests if someone seems too impaired to drive.
