I understand the importance of helping friends who might be in vulnerable situations.
If you have friends who frequently get drunk and need assistance getting home safely, it can be a kind and responsible gesture to help them out. Paying $5 to ensure their safe transportation home could be a thoughtful and caring way to support them.
However, it's also essential to have open and honest conversations with friends about the potential risks of excessive drinking and encourage them to make safer choices. In some cases, offering to be a designated driver, using rideshare services, or finding alternative transportation options may also be helpful. The main goal is to prioritize their safety and well-being while fostering a supportive environment.
