designated driver
Party's sober pilot
A designated driver is the person in a group who abstains from alcohol so they can safely drive everyone home.
The term emerged with drunk driving awareness campaigns in the 1980s.
Often shortened to DD: I'll be the designated driver tonight, so you can have a few drinks.
