Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

To pay attention to designated drivers actions for 15 minutes or so

Step 1

The first step in recognizing if friend is intoxicated is eye contact. Look at your friends eyes are they glossy? Do the eye have less motion (meaning this person might not blink or look away from immediate view)
Step 2

Step two is more obvious, swaying or unable to keep a straight line, wobbling. Another visible sign is gestures.

After all my years as a bartender my first clue the customer was becoming intoxicated was I'm so pretty hair flip and glossy eyes.
Buzzed driving is still drunk driving
Do not get into a vehicle with anyone you suspect has been drinking
Use your own judgement do not believe anyone that says they only had one or two. One could mean one pitcher of beer, one keg, or worse one liter of liquor
