What a crock..... just more of that gobbledeegooop people get fed and actually end up believing.
There are already more than enough options and programs. The problem is, the drinkers don't like the options. They don't want the hassle of actually preplanning and they want the options customized to suit their drinking preferences... so if they choose to stay out until 4 in the morning drinking..... well then there bloody well be public transportation available at that hour to take them home.
And poor baby, actually have to be a DD and not have fun. I am sure there must be some self help group you can join to help you get over the disappointment of going out with the guys and having to stay sober.
Wow, even worse yet, you sometimes have to leave at midnight to catch the public transportation that is already available at that hour. Yup, a true sacrifice on your part.
I can't even imagine how terrible it must be for you if sometimes you actually have to stay home and miss out on some drinking fun with your buddies.
Oh and by the way, when you start planning more options for the drunk drivers, please include a tuck in service and a nite time story.... you know, so they can get a decent night's sleep and all that and wake up feeling all warm and fuzzy.

Wow. That's a pretty condescending retort to a good post. All the guy is saying is that most of the options involve a fair amount of planning. How do you take that and twist it into tuck in services and warm and fuzzy bullcrap?
Were you never young? Have you never drank? Were you always such a model citizen that has never found herself in an unforeseen situation?
Give it up. I know you're angry about what happened to your family. And I absolutely sympathize. So instead of railing against people that are coming up with options and solutions and belittling people that think it's ridiculous that in a city the size of Calgary, that there aren't viable alternatives, set your anger aside and see that he's just pointing out these deficiencies.
Your anger is clouding your judgement.
