How can you tell if someone is drunk?

You may need to decide if a friend is drunk and shouldn't be driving home, or if you should take a ride with them. Some of the signs to look for are:

• slurred words
• loss of balance, falling down
• very loud or very withdrawn behaviour
• inability to focus vision
• loss of co-ordination (if they're fumbling for their keys, for example)

Any of these signs indicate serious intoxication. Do not even consider allowing this person to drive.
