Designated Drover

A designated drover is the responsible person in a group of intoxicated individuals on a night out.

Unlike the 'Designated Driver' they are allowed to be intoxicated, but not to the point that they can not think rationally enough to look after their fellow revelers.

This may include, making sure all of a group get to the next destination, stay off roads, don't eat dodgy hot dogs, kebabs, etc. They may also end up having the responsibility of soothing the individual lying in a pool of their own vomit or tears....

The designated drover can be determined prior to the commencement of an outing or assumed at some point in an unfolding crisis.
"If it wasn't for John the designated drover, I don't know how we would have got home last night."

You were lucky there was a designated drover, otherwise:

you'd have been hit by a car for sure.

you'd have gone home with that crazy_____ for sure.

you would have had vomit in your hair for sure.

The avetard that drives even though each and everyone of them is baked as shit. Usually this is froomie because he has the highest weed tolerance. The dab rig fucks all these dudes up so they want to go eat and one has to end up driving even though they are high.
Shit, we all baked but froomie said he can be designated driver even though he's baked as fuck and drive us to food.

Saskatchewan Designated Driver

Among a group of people who have all been drinking, the person who's had the least amount to drink, no matter how much that may be, becomes the official designated driver for the night.

Originates in the hard-drinking province of Saskatchewan on the prairies in western Canada.
Danny only had eight beers last night so when we went to the bar, he was the Saskatchewan Designated Driver.
