Asking Eric: Party Host Wants to Keep Guests From Drunk Driving

Hosts can reduce the risk by taking keys, arranging rides or food, and asking guests to name a designated driver before drinking.

  • In his 'Safe Home Dear Home' column, Eric Thomas provides party hosts with guidance on preventing impaired driving among guests during social gatherings.
  • If a friend is intoxicated, it is imperative that they do not get behind the wheel, 'full stop,' according to Safe Home Dear Home.
  • When guests become impaired, hosts can intervene by taking their keys, calling a ride, sending them home with a designated driver, letting them sleep it off, or driving them home.
  • To proactively discourage impaired driving, hosts should ask guests to identify a designated driver in advance, limit alcohol served, and provide food with drinks.
  • While these host-led strategies are effective, Safe Home emphasizes that none substitute for the personal responsibility of guests themselves.
