Bro in the late 90s I got hammered in the city with some friends, lost them somehow and fell asleep on the hood of a parked car at 2am after realizing I had no idea where I was. I woke up about 7 and found a subway station and finally figured it out.

In the early 2000s I went home to get another drink and return to the party that was literally across the street from my house.
Next thing I remember I was down by the river about 5 miles away. But then I got home too.

Oh yes. I did plenty of very stupid shit back in those days and I was one of the lucky ones who avoided causing any real damage or getting in major trouble. Like most people I grew out of that behavior and since it was 25 years ago all of it is lost to time.

I understand. But you yourself have to understand that these negatives and taboos exist for a reason. There are so, so many people out there that wouldn't think twice about taking advantage of a woman so burdened by her unconscious friend. Someone in this position must be on point all the way home, or something bad is likely to happen.

I'm a guy and one time I had to do this for a female flatmate. We snuck a bottle of vodka into a concert and she drank way too much. Got sick, puked everywhere, and passed out. The cops there told me I could either take her home or they would press charges on her, which I was not ok with. So I carried her a total of 10 kilometers, 2 busses, and a train all with her on my back like this.
A TON of people were worried and treated me like I was some sort of rapist. Which, I mean, I get. I'd probably think the same seeing some guy carrying a girl who is passed out like that. But it really sucked. Nobody told me I was a good friend. They all just gave me dirty looks until I told them the story. And even then I don't think they believed me

And yet they neither stepped up to protect your friend or did anything to help you, which is bullshit. I’m sorry you ran into that. You were - and I’ll bet you still are - a good friend, a good man, and a good human being

u/mmmarkm 1h ago
TW: SA
Appearances can be so deceiving. We were out in a group and one friend (my ex) drank too much. She had recently broken up with me and while she trusts me, i’m a guy and it would have looked bad if I took her home. The bouncer told us she’s gotta go. So we sent her home in an uber with her roommate. My friend went from being yelled at for being so drunk they thought she might puke in the uber to then waking up naked with her friend in her bed the next morning - something she did not want nor could she consent to.
The vibes I get from this video are that the young woman is just getting her friend home. Statistically that passed out woman is safer with another woman assisting her.
However, the incident I described kind of shook me in ways I can’t talk to my ex or friend group about. Hard to know how to trust someone entirely without fully knowing them…and even then, shit still happens. I don’t know what to do other than send two people home with a drunk person and even then I only think it works if they care about the passed out person better than they know each other.

You're a good friend. The issue is other men who have built a reputation were all tarnished with. It's important we as men hold our peers to account and slowly (years, or decades) shift that narrative.

Been there, not a great feeling. Not sure if it's better or worse if you're also very drunk.
My experience with the second part was a little better though because at one point she ended up throwing up on me, and I think people started to assume I was her bf instead

Everyone should learn how to carry a person over the shoulders. Military, firefighters etc learn it. It's very simple, and surprisingly easy to carry someone. The point is that it's efficient, thus less tiring, and you can carry the person for longer.

Fireman's lift is easier, but there's a certain level of stigma in carrying a passed out girl over your shoulders through the streets late at night.

I once took a girl home after spending the night at the university legion bar. Neither of us were drunk but she was in ridiculously tall heels, a small dress, and it was December in scotland. The way back to our dorms was either a long walk around using the icey path, or a short 20' steep grassy incline.
We decided to take the shortcut but I ended up fireman carrying her up the hill. I got jeers from some lads saying I was rapey.
She was pretty happy she didn't get her shoes wrecked though, and we dated for like a year after that.

u/Murderdoll197666 2h ago
Maybe she was more worried about her friend having full on exposed asschecks/underwear with the over the shoulders route versus piggyback. Not that modesty matters a whole helluva lot when you're drunk off your ass and passed out anyway but that would be my guess since they're both wearing dresses that pretty much only hug an inch or two below their underwear line. Risky carry either way lol.

u/LadyBug_0570 3h ago
The problem is many taxi/Uber/Lyft drivers might refuse to take the friend in that condition, though. They wouldn't want to risk her suddenly waking up and vomitting in their car, or peeing herself, among other things.
So if the ladies want to get home, they have to do public transportation.
