Company party...

[Fancy Face]

At a company party recently, a fellow nurse had way too much to drink to my standards. When it was time to part, I couldn't believe he was going to drive himself home. He insisted he was fine and refused a cab or another ride. I told him I was worried and didn't think he should drive, tried taking the keys but he wouldn't let me at them.

He ended up getting mad, saying he was fine and driving home, despite all of my attempts to get him a ride. He made it home safely, but how could I have better handled this?(as a nurse)

Never been out with anyone who would do that.

there really isn't much you can do. when people get drunk they get very stubborn, so reason never applies. you can just call him the next day to make sure he got home alright. if he gets pulled over it's his own fault. my biggest concern would be if i were putting other drivers at risk by letting him drive.

Probably the only thing you could have done more was to threaten him with calling the police and letting them decide if he is OK to drive.

Call 911 and tell them you saw him driving drunk and give them his license number.
