Maybe ask for a wellness check? Can’t really get her arrested based off a she said but you can say that you’re worried about her having a severe addiction since he admitted to driving drunk

confront her about it or bring it up with other people who care about her, don’t go straight to the cops. trying to get her locked up isn’t actually going to help her fix her reckless behavior or her relationship to alcohol, it’s just going to fuck up her future

Imagine someone telling you something in confidence and your first response is wanting to report her to the police. I get the danger she is doing and not saying there shouldn't be some sort of intervention, but you're a shitty person that no one should trust.

She could potentially kill someone this needs to be reported. She’s risking other people’s futures by doing it unfortunately

Maybe a non emergency line? I did something similar before for a friend and she kinda stoped atleast drunk driving because she was too scared to get caught

yeah, it’s apparent that you aren’t her friend, that was not my assumption. are you interested in actually reducing her likelihood of harming another person or do you just want to punish her?

obviously what she’s doing is dangerous and needs to be discouraged. there are methods of attempting to intervene that should be tried before going straight to law enforcement

Hey i get you wouldnt know this but i grew up with alcoholic parents that would drink and drive, i dont talk to them any more. My uncle also killed someone in a drunk driving accident. This is a very serious and personal topic for me and i take it seriously. Probably more seriously than most others. I have no personal vendetta towards this girl but i cannot understand why more people are not finding this to be abhorrent and selfish behavior.

a wellness check is still sending the cops to her house on suspicion of underage drinking

Shitty ideas, if the people who “cared about her” really cared then they wouldve noticed. Like she told her new coworker a month after working here that she drinks and drives, you dont think they already know? And she was telling me about how one of her friends already got arrested for it and she STILL DOES IT

at no point have I taken this anything other than seriously or viewed it as anything other than abhorrent and selfish behavior. I am also intensely wary of the US criminal justice system for similarly serious personal reasons

And under the suspicion of drunk driving. This isn’t just some sort of thing you have a small intervention on because she has an addiction and is keeping to herself she is actively putting other peoples lives at risk it needs to be stoped. Just speaking to her will hardly do anything

does she not have parents? are you incapable of telling her the same anecdote you just told me about how serious this is? or are just not actually interested in ideas that take any effort on your part beyond calling the cops

right, and you know this because you’ve talked to her yourself. all I’m hearing is excuses for taking an unnecessarily punitive & very likely unproductive route

uh no not because I talked to her myself because OP said that she was drunk driving?? That is the issue here are you dense? there isn’t an excuse for that she could kill herself or other people

They blocked me aswell! Yeah not sure why they are taking this situation lightly I’ve known so many people who have died either being a drunk driver or to a drunk driver so I’m glad someone cares enough to potentially intervene.
