Folks on campus - do you have a friend named Soren who got blackout drunk and tried to walk home tonight? Did he make it?
My partner and I were driving on Montlake Blvd around 11:20pm and came across a student-aged guy so drunk he couldn't walk on his own. We stopped to offer help and he said he lived just a few minutes away, so we offered to drive him home. The address he kept giving us was all the way down near Beacon Hill, but when he gave directions as we drove, he led us to Ravenna. Eventually he got frustrated by us asking for directions and saying the address didn't make sense to us, so he hopped out and said he'd walk the rest of the way because it was only a couple minutes.
We realized afterwards we should've just asked to look at his phone to see if he had his address saved in Maps or if we could call someone, but hindsight is 20/20.
So - is this your friend? If so, do you know if he ever made it home? Based on what he said I think he thought we were an Uber (he said he'd tip us tomorrow 😂) but we are just two locals hoping he isn't passed out in a street somewhere!
