Good Samaritan Reports Man Who Always Drinks And Drives To His Boss, Friends Accuse Him Of Ruining The Man's Life
Many people drink and drive every day, oblivious to the risks involved. However, does choosing to drive while intoxicated make sense even though you got home safely or "got away with it"? Not at all.

When you decide to drive yourself home while intoxicated, you endanger not just your own life but also the lives of everyone else on the road. The best way to be completely safe is to never drive after consuming any alcohol.
Alcohol significantly impairs a person's judgment, coordination, reaction time, focus, and vision, all of which are crucial for safe driving. Alcohol's impact on these abilities increases the risk of bad things happening to you and other people.
As you may have already heard, drinking significantly contributes to impaired judgment. Yes, alcohol can affect your judgment so negatively that you end up making poor choices that you will regret the next day or after you sober up.
Even a small amount of alcohol can impair your judgment and focus, but driving requires your full attention more than any other activity, so the danger is not worth it. You must be able to maintain your lane, control your speed, give other vehicles on the road enough room and attention, and observe traffic signals.
The OP of today's story is very aware of all this, which is why they chose to report a man who was always drunk driving to his boss.
Here's the OP's story

I told a man’s boss that he’s been drinking and driving at work and his friends said I’m ruining his life.

The OP revealed in the comments saying:
A friend told me about his drunk driving and says I betrayed their trust by telling his boss. I guess I did but I really feel like I had to because I couldn’t just let it happen again when I can do something about it.
I’m truly baffled because I thought they were decent enough people to understand that. But I guess I was very wrong.
The man is already ruining his own life

It would have been a mistake to tell anyone other than the boss

No matter how well you can control your alcohol consumption, driving while intoxicated puts you at a higher risk of getting into an accident, injuring someone, or even killing someone. Instead of paying attention to the road, you'll be more distracted when driving if you drink.
Redditors thanked the OP for looking out for others as they were declared not the AH in the story.
