His roommate who is a semi decent guy, said i was being a pussy not driving home.

I care about my car alot and never would want to risk it being in an accident. Its flawless and even the light scratch sets me off.

would you drive home (30 mins) after 5 beers cans and 5 games of beerpong?



You are definitely not a pussy ... you are a (fill in the blank).

I am flipping GLAD that you care for your car "alot". It being "flawless" is VERY important to the community. The fact that your sorry ass could have taken out an innocent bystander as you drove home had nothing to do with your decision NOT to drive home?

Heller, you are the biggest piece of (use you own imagination).

no mandatory insurance for damage to others in the US? huh very nice

anyway if you feel like you can't drive, you should not do it, even if others pressure you.

1 hit an run last month from a DRUNK driver with no insurance. I just shelled out my last G to get the whole thing fixed, and hopfully i'll see the money again someday.

Ah i see. In that case you have all the reason in the world to care about your car.


Also, no you werent being a pussy. Quite the opposite actually

Hes book smart but not so in the common sense department


Common sense department like you, right? You judging him in this are scares the (fill in the blank) out of me. I temper my fear with the fact that you could just be making up your disturbing life stories ... or not.

So we were at a friends house last night playing beerpong for a couple hours. I played about 5 games and drank roughly 5 beers (cans) and i was slightly buzzin. Now i drink almost never and i would consider myself a light weight. I asked my buddy if i could crash on the couch and being my bestfriend off course he said sure and let me crash. His roommate who is a semi decent guy, said i was being a pussy not driving home.

I'm such a cheap date I would have been flat out drunk after 5 beers in an hour, no you aren't a pussy for being responsible.

Everybody's different. I'd probably have driven home, but it's hard to say unless you're there. Alcohol affects me differently every time. In any case, you did the right thing. If you don't think you should be driving, you shouldn't be driving. Don't let some asshole pressure you into doing something you shouldn't do.

Heck I wont drive with 2 beers. Isn't worth the risk and just because you don't feel drunk does not mean you are under the limit.

Driving only 30 mins after 5 beers is asking for trouble. Depending on your weight, body mass and metabolisim, it takes a while for alcohol to get down to a safe driving level. And if you did get stopped and were drunk, you would pay dearly for it. Heavy fines, higher insurance, license suspension and in some cases, an ignition interlock for a set amount of time (costly and they do not work correct all the time) .. not to mention you may have been in an accident (your fault or not) and had to deal with damage or injuries.
So you did the correct thing.

Every state that I've lived in has required it, but that doesn't stop people from driving illegally. When I lived in New York they would go nuts if your insurance lapsed. Here in Arizona they don't seem to do anything unless you get pulled over and don't have it.

no, you weren't being a pussy. but the fact that your chief concern about driving drunk and getting in an accident is that you might chip the paint on your sweet ghetto ride, and not the potential for killing someone else....is rather concerning.

While its dumb to be more concerned with fucking up your ride than someone else. Whatever keeps your drunk ass off the road is fine with me.

so you're questioning about giving in to peer pressure from an idiot? not a pussy in a sense that you made the right decision.

although i think the reason WHY you made the decision to crash at his place is pretty stupid. who cares about your life or other innocent lives that could be on the line, as long as your car is ok, right? from what you said, i bet if it was somebody else's car or if you rented a car, you would have driven home.

No, you were not being a pussy. Your friend's roommate is a douchenozzle for suggesting you drive home.

The real question is. Will the OP print this thread and present it to the roommate?

WTF man?? You just post about passing a drug test for your new job and now you're questioning being a pussy because you didn't drive home after 5 beers? The roommate is a fucking idiot, there is no question about that. I could see driving after 2 beers, maybe. Max.

Who gives a shit about your car. You don't drive drunk because you are a safety hazard. And you can't afford a DUI. It is a criminal offense unlike a traffic violation.

Well you didn't drive drunk, so you were in the right... we just want to make sure you don't in the future either so you don't fuck up your life or someone elses...

Don't be a DA. Never drink and drive. If you get pulled over you will lose your license. If you get in an accident it is automatically your fault. If you kill someone it will be manslaughter. If you are going to drink always have a designated driver.

it could be a beater for all i care, but i worked for many years to buy said car and im proud of myself to be 19 and own outright a 3 year old car. It was just out of the shop b/c some jackass thought it was a good idea to smash my driver side door cause he was drunk of his fucking ass and then guess what no insurance D:

I then proceed to spend my savings on fixing my car my deductible was $1000, i had $1300 left, so i spent the g and made the decision to take a semester off (which is a whole different story that im extremely upset about)and working so i can hopefully raise enough money at my new job to pay for my tuition/books/gas to drive 30 mins each way to class.

This. Also the OP sounds like he's underage, so he'd get PWNED extra hard if he got caught (depends on state).

Driving lit is stupid, but being lit after 5 beers does make you a pussy.
