He was just like dude, did you want a ride home with us, it wouldn't be any trouble.
I was taken aback a little at first because I didn't feel impaired, but just said, yeah that would be great actually because I didn't want to turn it into a thing. He even offered to drive me back the next day to pick up my car. I didn't take him up on that and just got my wife to drive.
I am like 95% sure I was fine to drive, but I also didn't want to be the guy to make stink about it, especially when the couple was so kind and cool about how they approached the situation. They even asked if I wanted to stop some where on the way.
So yeah, there are some really nice random strangers in life and I was impressed that they cared. Maybe they had an unfortunate incident in the past or something.
I also scored bonus points at home when I told my wife why I didn't have the car.

I don't trust people when they say they have a "high tolerance for alcohol."
Just because you can hold your booze better than the next guy doesn't mean you're any less impaired.
