So arranging to not drive after having any amount of alcohol is "careless behavior". What an interesting idea.
No, burdening others with your party plans are. The OP can take an Uber to and from the party, and not take advantage of other people to do this. Is that such a difficult concept for you as well?
I'm amazed at all the high and mighty people on here that couldn't possibly be a wee bit inconvenienced when helping a friend celebrate a birthday. Yikes. But then I don't run with the drink til you puke crowd so I guess it always depends on the circumstances.
But even more amazing is a 28 year old being grounded. That's probably my WTF for the month right there.
But that is none of the OP's business and has zero to do with the user nature of the OP. What an attitude, I must drink, so you must take me there instead of being an adult to arranging for your own transportation with Uber or a taxi service. Ever stop to think that the friend here is sick of being used by the OP making demands of their time, because it is no surprise he didn't want to do it.
I don't drink. I hate that people assume/think I will just drive everybody around at the end of the night. What if I want to leave and they don't? And, really, he should have to pay for your uber? You're an adult, you're going out, it's not his responsibility.
I have emetophobia, the fear of vomit/vomiting, which I am sure sounds stupid to you. But I don't want to drive drunk people around because I don't want them getting sick. And people always say, "I'm only having 1-3 drinks", but it doesn't always pan out that way.
I would never let someone drink and drive, BTW. I just do not put myself in those situations anymore and thankfully, my friends understand.
Its a long time friend, and he never said anything about wanting to maybe leave early people. He just took a pass on it. Sounds like he's being a jerk to me.
Not sure why the friend would bring up puking in the car unless the OP has told tales of being so drunk that he did puke in a car before. Whether or not that's true, the friend can say no.

So he doesn't share every thought in his head. BFD. It doesn't mean that he's not keeping the possibility in mind.
