when you find yourself drunk...

[kotiko]

Well generally you shouldn't jump right in to your car when you've conciously realized you're drunk and may not be capable of driving. Your best bet is to stay where you are, find a place to drink water, coffee, chew gum, or something else to eventually get you to a state where you'll be able to drive.

If you're just in someone else's house, try taking a nap there first.

If you're in some bar or some commercial place, you can generally observe whether it's safe to leave your car behind or not and ride a cab home. If you are capable of transferring your car to a safer parking space not too far away, then that could be an option too.

Definitely I would most likely not have it towed, it's going to be too much hassle to do that, not to mention coordinating it since you are.. drunk. The only time you'd most likely need a towing service is when you've hit an accident!

Fro me, I've been able to know my threshold when it's time to stop drinking more than I can handle.
