Question

*Read the introduction first, then read your friend's dialogue, and choose three responses from the (32) below as appropriate response to what the said:

Dealing with Drunken Friends

Whether a night ends safely for all concerned, or disastrously, often depends on what people say to each other and themselves at crucial moments in the night. The purpose of this dialogue is to give you practice and rehearsal at making life-enhancing and life-preserving comments to friends who are determined to drive home after drinking. Even if you are unsuccessful at keeping them from driving, saying things like those on the list you’ve been given would at least hopefully help you stand your ground and take care of yourself. If you can’t save others, at least save yourself. Use the responses below for each statement your friend makes, once you have used a response you may not use it again.
