If you find yourself dependent on a drinker for a ride home, the safest course of action is to ask someone for help. There are several reasons for this approach:

  • Safety first: If the person you are dependent on is drunk, it’s unsafe to rely on them for a ride.
  • Alternative transportation: You can call a taxi, use a rideshare app, or reach out to a friend or family member for help.
  • Avoid confrontation: Asking someone else for help can reduce any potential awkwardness or rudeness towards the drinker.

It's important to prioritize safety in these situations, both for yourself and others.
