We’re talking about a 22 year old here, they drink until they’re wasted. I agree that he should get a ride but its ridiculous to suggest he should quit drinking forever. If he was a 45 year old functioning alcoholic blowing a .3 while carrying on like a normal person, then I’d agree that he needs to quit permanently.

Ask any police officer and they’ll tell you about the functioning alcoholics.

That has been settled. ANYONE who is out imbibing should call for a ride. After blowing .24, the issue is how to help him stop drinking alcohol permanently.
