I just saw a picture of a baseball stadium and the parking lot was like 5x bigger than the stadium. How do people manage to get wasted AND get home.
Excuse my naivety but I’m from Europe where people take the train usually and the hope is that the train conductor isn’t a drunk dad coming from the game. Plus we don’t have baseball.
many Americans don’t really worry about driving drunk. it is weird going back to visit, having beers with people and then everybody drives home drunk.
from concerts, from the bars, from restaurants, from bowling alleys, driving impaired is pretty normal there.
like you say, there’s no public transport to get them home.
I’ve said this countless times but I’ll say it again: Go to any “local” bar in your town and observe what happens at close. It sure as shit ain’t Uber after Uber pulling up to drag home the people who have been there all night. They’re driving home drunk, it’s wild.
exactly. when I grew up with it, I was like oh five beers? you can function all right because that was the culture.
and now when I visit the states I’m like oh these people are all driving home drunk, every person I know and many I don’t are driving home impaired to a dangerous degree.
Many adults understand the concept of a designated driver aka the sober guy who drives everyone home.
a lot of them understand the concept of airfoils also, but holding a random concept in your head doesn’t prevent them from driving home drunk.
