I think 3 drinks in a 3 or 4 hour period is fine. Considering it takes me like 10 drinks to have to actually think about saying my alphabet backwards (DAMN YOU HIGH TOLERANCE!!) Plus someone gave me one of those handy dandy self breathalyzer gadgets.
Trust me, if I even start to think I may be endangering myself (more importantly others). I just don't drive.
I totally agree with you, shannon, about us scrumping like bunnies all day at my house and what not.....but her dad is very religious and doesn't want it happening under his roof.
And Mal, I think I will talk to her dad about it. If I explain to him that its not every week, just the nights that I'm extremely tired, I'm sure (hoping is more like it) he will be reasonable.
I also like your idea of sort of trading off. Like one week I drive her home. The next week she drives herself home, and one week she stays, and the next week I drive her home again (not neccesarily in that order).
Her father just recently realized we are in it for the long haul. Her mother has known, and has no problem with me staying there (she actually asks me to stay there when they are out of town) so that she isn't alone while watching the dog. Maybe I can ask her to butter him up with the idea that I may stay there maybe once every couple of months when I am really sleepy.
Thank you all again.
