We've all been there: Go to the bar, have a few beers, maybe a shot or three. Funnel comes out, lights go off upstairs.

And then it's time to go home.

This is when you call a cab, have a friend arrange a taxi, or when your designated driver steps up and does his designated duties.

But in the absence of friends or cab fare, what does one do? Whatever you decide, don't skateboard home.

According to the video description on YouTube, the poster offered to get the skater a cab home, but he refused. Naturally, that's when the camera comes out.

It could have been a lot worse for the skater, who didn't last long on his board. Fortunately, he appears to have only suffered mild embarrassment, a weak face plant, and a wrecked deck.

Reddit described this as "unchoreographed perfection," although it's a little suspicious that the driver of the SUV that hits his skateboard doesn't immediately stop to see what he just collided with. Either way, this video is a pretty effective PSA.

Don't drink and skate, people.

Thoughts?

People are idiots when they're sober, and they're doubly stupid when they're drunk. I only wish he had some teeth knocked out or his nose busted in. I mean, he's really only putting himself in danger, but if he had come out into the street when a car was driving along (with him still on the board), that could've caused a lot of trouble. The idiot already probably fucked up the back of the car when it ran the board over and flung it up into the body. I hope he has to pay for whatever damage was done.

What an irresponsible person. At least nobody got hurt.

Glad he's okay.

I say the same here.
