[nabs-l] Drunken cane travel

[Ashley Bramlett]

Sara,
I'd never walk with someone less sober than me!
Don't use a  drunk guide!  If you go out to party use an alternative to get 
home rather than a guide who may get drunk.  Two ideas are arranging for a 
cab or a friend not at the event to pick you up.
Don't walk with drunk people.  Its not safe!

Ashley
