You're not his Dad. Let him do whatever he wants and make your own arrangements to get home.
I hope he doesn't hit one of your children on the way home.We have a responsibility to try and stop things like that.

Would you leave a group of youths kicking in a granny?
To answer the OP. Shop him. Or just punch him in the ovaries.

And if you happen to know anyone that beats their wife, show them this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nTYLdU3QxwU
We need more ads like these.

Bit of a selfish attitude there imho.

If someone is irresponsible enough to behave in this way, then by default they abdicate responsibility to others
wise words. Listen to the force my young paduwanthink how you would feel if he caused the death of someone, and you had the opportunity to prevent it
you owe it to him and to the general public

The family of the other victim, Ms Prest, a mother-of-five, said that their Christian faith had been tested by the tragedy.
Tested?? TESTED????? 
What fvckin' planet are these people on if they think there is someone up there watching them, and this sort of s
t STILL goes down???? I bet they'll be saying they are lucky that she died a quick death!!! Or that this has 'brought them closer to god' or some other such religious psychobabble.

Shop him. Why not. It may not do any good but at least you tried. (I once shopped a woman work colleage who I saw veer into an oncoming vehicle, taking both mirrors off, then mount a verge at about 60mph. I don't think the police did anything though, I saw her driving the week after that and the following week, 9am, we watched her park her car at work and fall face-down in the flower bed. A month later she was dead. So there you go)
And if that doesn't work then, in the spirit of the thread... bash him in the heart.

The guy goes out with you, gets drunk, and drives home.
You take no action to stop or dissuade him.
Morally I think that you are just as much to blame for the death of the family of four that he smashes into as he is.
Explain this to him and make sure that he is aware that if he drinks and drives in your company then he will find a cop car waiting to nick him as he reaches his home.
Make sure you let him know this well advance of a night out on the beer, so that he has ample opportunity to arrange other transport. There can be no excuses from him and there will be no mercy from you.
You can't stop him doing this all the time, but you can stop it happening when you're around.
If you're wondering, I have taken this approach with a friend. I have never needed to call the police for him, but I have had to look after his keys once or twice (at his request). When he askes for the keys back, I just hand him the keys and reach for a phone. It works.
