Just drop him off?

Dear Prudence,

St. Patrick’s Day is a big deal in my husband’s family, but it inevitably devolves into a contest of who can drink the most before passing out. I’m sick of having to cart my unconscious husband home and then recruit some able-bodied neighbors to help get him from the car and into the house.

However, I’m afraid of his ability to get home safely if I weren’t there to drive him. Every year, he promises not to overdo it with the booze, only for it to go out the window the instant he sets foot in his parents’ house. Short of slashing our car’s tires right before it’s time to leave, do I have any options?

Put him in an uber? He’s an adult and can make choices if he’s not behind a wheel. You don’t have to be there for it.

This happens at his parents' home.  Can't he stay there (spare room, couch, floor?) for the night?

Drop him off and tell him to stay there?

It's his parents' house. Tell him to plan for it to be a slumber party and you'll pick him up in the morning.

My first question was "is Uber not a thing in your area?" but I much prefer the sleepover at mom & dad's.  I used to hate when exH would stumble in sideways (sounds like LW's H is actually unconscious?).  I love corned beef and soda bread as much as the next person but this is definitely something I'd skip if I was LW.

If they insist on having a family drunken stupor then they all can crash there.

For previous years, I would have left him in the car to sleep it off.  I would not be embarrassing myself by bothering neighbors to help me drag my unconscious, drunk H into the house.
