I usually don't drink as a general rule. There has to be a special occasion, like people dying, the Yankees winning the division... etc. I am more often than not the DD. At the St. Patricks Day party this year, I once again fufilled the role of the obligitory DD. I really enjoy being the only sober person at a party, as you remember very well the events of the night, and can relay them to the rest of the crew. The party died out at around 4am, so we loaded up all the drunk bastards into my VW bus, and I drove them all home. Remembering a comic that I had heard at one time, I stopped at EVERY gas station I could find, pretending to put gas in the bus, making everyone pitch in. I think when it was all said and done I walked away with $80. And people wonder why I volunteer to be the DD...
