DD -- not even one drink?
When a group of friends go to a party and one is the designated driver, do you expect that the DD will abstain from alcohol completely, or that he or she might have a glass of wine, but not become inebriated?
Id only expect complete abstinence if the person doesnt drink alcohol. Otherwise, its up to the DD to limit their alcohol intake to a certain amount, and that limit is below drunken status, more like getting a bit tipsy (which depends on the person). Then the DD has to stop long enough before the night will end so they can sober up. Its a tricky calculation only if youre dealing with someone who doesnt know their limits and how long it takes for them to be okay to drive.
Theres always the consolation that if the DD decides to fall (or jump) off the wagon, a sober friend or cab can be called. Its also nice when the host of the party is okay with some people staying over to sleep it off
