Don't beat yourself up to bad. We have friends come over and drink every Saturday. They all know they are more than welcome to stay and it is suggested that they stay if they have been drinking. Most times there is no problem. However a few times there have been those who try to drive. I have wrestled a few of the guys to get their keys. A few times I have lost. They drove home. At that time, I crossed my fingers and prayed for their safe arrival. Usually the next day I get a phone call, "Sorry, I should have given you my keys last night, I dont' know what came over me. I will never do that again." And they don't. All it takes is one night of not remembering how you got home to scare you straight. If you call the parents, what can they do, even they will have to wait for the kid to arrive home. If you call the cops there is no guarantee they will find the car. But everyone should try and stop someone, even physically, to keep them from Drunk Driving. I would tell the daughter and all of their friends that with 8 on 1 they could have gotten the keys and next time such a thing occurs they need to band together and do their best to stop the guy. Assuming the person is known to NOT carry guns.

You dropped the ball; sorry, but there it is. You even wimped on calling his granny.
I know. You are right.
I talked to my boss today. She said she would be glad to talk to him. He is the last patient of the day. So she has lots of time to talk. AND, you made some good points, and I have copied your post to give to him. Thanks In fact, I think I will copy all of the posts. I will let you know tomorrow, how he reacts, to Dr. and posts.
