“YTA. You’re DD. What happens if something occurs where you need to leave sooner? Bam, now you’re over the limit and there’s no DD. Plus she was a newcomer to the group and wasn’t aware of your ‘rules’ – she pointed out she wasn’t comfortable with it and as the DD you should have agreed not to have that drink. You don’t know her background or anything. Getting into a car with somebody who has had even a single drink could be a huge no-no for her (and clearly was) and as the DD you should make sure EVERYBODY is comfortable with you having had that drink before you have it. This was an important step towards welcoming her into the group and you brushed her off.”
