This thread will come off as weird, but I need to blow some steam. As it turns out, this saturday, a mega party is coming up. Its a local beer fest, and the best part is, I know who is organizing it and who is invited. There will be a good 100-200 people, because its not gonna be open to everybody, only good friends, and I've been invited. Apart from the 100 pesos fee (to help cover expenses) that everyone has to pay, there is no thing else, but I already know whats gonna happen. I'm gonna get a ride there, gonna have a great time, (without getting drunk) and then the problems will start.

The friend who will give us a ride home will surely be drunk, and if his driving isn't bad enough as is when he's sober, it will now become deadly.

This is the main reason I stopped hanging out with these dudes a while back. I can't take their driving. We've been soo close to causing or being part of a deadly accident that I am just sick of it, but they enjoy it.

So I just stumbled upon a lot of youtube videos of similiar scenarios that went utterly wrong, and my stomach feels horrible.

That could have been us soo many times, it makes me want to puke.

I remember once arguing with one of them, a pot addict who for sure will be smoking tons of pot at the party and get the official stamp of jackass of the night (again), and all he said is: "Do what you like even if it kills you."

This logic is horrible. How the hell can I do what I like, if I'm dead.

Damnit!

I am having serious doubts about going.

Don't go. It's not worth risking your life just because you want to have a few hours of fun. Honestly, if they're endangering not only yours and their own lives but other drivers lives, I'd report them to the police even if they were my friends. You don't take **** like that for granted, you're messing with a LIFE.



I suggest you take his advice, and give him a good slap or punches or whatever.

then stop pussyfooting around and dont go jesuswhatawomanmanwhocant****ingdecide****forhimselfandalwayshastogettheforumsopinionon****youdoinyourpersonallife****ingchrist man

This is massassi dude, we always come to this dark corner of our minds for opinions and bragging. GET USED TO IT.

@ Temperamental.

Well I really want to go, but not in their car. Seeing as the party is close to one of the guys house, I'm going to try to convince him to get his mom to drop us off, and then we go crash at his house.

Better than driving half way around town, drunk and reckless.

If all fails, then I'm getting a cab and going home.

Still, the whole thing is, I want to somehow talk some sense into these guys. Damnit, its hard to watch how these guys keep getting into deeper and deeper ****, after so many years of being friends and watching out for each other.

EDIT:
@ TheNewKid

If you don't have anything good to say, then **** off. Nobody asked you to reply to my thread. Now stop being an attention whore and go do whatever it is you do with your free time. Damn downs kid, go play with yourself elsewhere.

At best, your posts can be classified as trolling, and its beginning to piss me off.

That's the tough part. Knowing they are your friends and you essentially can't do anything without jeopardizing your friendship in order to help them at the same time. They sound like the kind of guys that, unfortunately, don't learn until it's too late or unless it's done the hard way. It sucks, but it might just take one of them dying or getting into a horrible accident before they all smarten up.

I used to know a lot of kids that had the same lifestyle, and you could tell them all that you wanted about what would happen to them. It didn't fixate into their minds until 4 years of living like that they were driving down a dark road, drunk, and they wrapped their car as well as their own father around a tree. Now they won't even get into a vehicle. But the only person I feel any sort of sympathy for is the dead father.

Is there at least one logical / sensible person in the group? Maybe you could pull just that one guy aside, and tell him, maybe it'll trickle down their chain coming from one of "them", if you get what I am saying. Other than that I really don't know what to say, because you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.. Try to stop them and risk ruining your friendship, let them continue and risk theirs and someone Else's life. Personally, I think the logical decision is right in front of you (A life > A friendship), but that's just what I would do.

You could always get your own car and become their designated driver, but that would be no fun

I do have a car, but I don't drive when I know I'm going to drink, that being said, its been a while since I've had anything to drink. Also, I'm not paying 100 pesos (which is plenty down here) to not drink.

There is only one guy I can talk sense into, the problem is, they all get into a different mindset when were all together. Thank god it hasn't rubbed off on me.

GUYS HOW DO I THINK FOR MYSELF SHOULD I MAKE A THREAD ABOUT IT EVERY TIME

FURTHERMORE THE TONE OF MY OP CLEARLY STATES WHICH WAY I AM LEANING THEREFORE WHY DID I POST TO BEGIN WITH

Errrrr....taxi?

Taxi?

mexican taxi
what if he was at the party too

@ gettleburger: BECAUSE THE INTERNET HAS TO KNOW WHAT A SENSIBLE AND BRIGHT GUY I AM COMPARED TO ALL OF MY RL FRIENDS

DAMN YOU MARTYN!

Where is it happening, and could you stay at a nearby friends house that doesn't require driving? That would be my suggestion.

omg taxis in Mexico are SCARY.

"WUT SPEED LIMIT?"

A Mexican local beer fest? There is absolutely no upside to that. Don't go.

If you were really their friend, you'd do what you had to to help them, even if it ended the friendship.

You're not getting drunk, or you're not drinking? Because I'm sure you said you could drive in another topic. If you're going to be sober (or under the limit), why don't you drive your friend's car? Or is that going to be replied to with a round of hearty laughter before they speed off into the nearest lamppost?

INSTAPOST FTW!

(allcaps ftw too)

Being the only sober person at a party is not fun.

This. You should report them, because they're endangering the lives of people who aren't at fault, in addition to their own. I don't know how much the Mexican police will care (cuz Mexico must be all backwards lolol), but they NEED their driver's licenses taken away.

Clearly SF_GoldG_01 should not go to this party. However, I would totally go.

Well, I just talked with one of them on the phone. Were not going to drive, instead were going to crash at a friends house near the party. Thank goodness.

$5 says he made all of this up, and you guys are all being a bunch of drama whores for no reason.

$50 says you're still wearing that whore wig.

just don't go.... mexican beer is just pisswater anyway

Note that the majority of the posters in this thread is having a good laugh about it.
Also: Holy crap talking money!!

no poll? wtf
