How to Handle a Guest Who's Had Too Much to Drink
Jacqueline Whitmore, founder of EtiquetteExpert.com and author of Poised for Success, has been in this sticky situation herself, both when hosting parties at home and dinners out.

Otherwise, say something like, "I want to make sure you get home safely, and I would really feel better if I called you a cab," or "John has offered to drive you home."
