When you don't want to drink...

Category: Eating
Phrase in Italian: Devo guidare.
Translation into English: I must drive.
The Story: I was at dinner the other night with friends when the waiter wanted to pour us all glasses of wine. I told him that I didn't want any, which prompted him to ask me if I was the designated driver for the group. After telling him I was, I got him to teach me the phrase in Italian. It's been pretty useful way to avoid drinking at dinners, especially because wine is such a big part of the culture here.
