LRL, I think you are being really harsh. The woman is an alcoholic not a baby. In our lowest hours we cry out to those that might help us (parents, gods, past lovers) and the person who reaches out to help us doesn't always make us weak, but sometimes saves us from ourselves.

I agree that the girl needs more than a lift home, but ignoring her and tossing her out like trash isn't going to solve the problem. He can help her find some resources to start on the path instead of leaving her in a situation where she might get behind the wheel of a car and kill someone.
