Stella's best course when a friend will be drinking at a party?

• A. Ask sober friend to take her home
• B. Go to the party and refuse to drink
• C. Try to stop her friend from drinking
• D. Ignore it and enter

Answer: (A)

Safety and planning for getting home when a friend will be drinking are key. The best choice is to arrange a ride with someone who is sober so you have a reliable, safe way to get home and aren’t relying on a driver who may be impaired. This proactively reduces the risk of impaired driving and helps you avoid dangerous situations after the party. Choosing to go to the party and refuse to drink doesn’t guarantee a safe ride or prevent you from ending up in a car with someone who has been drinking. Trying to stop your friend from drinking isn’t something you can reliably enforce, and it can create pressure or conflict. Ignoring the situation and entering the party misses the essential safety planning entirely.
