Yes, that is bang on.
And in my post above- what I am trying to say is we all make mistakes. Having the advantage of 20/20 hindsight, there are all sorts of options that could have been explored. Arange for a couch with a buddy who was close enough to the party so we could have walked there together. Not drink as much. Etc.
But all of those require planning, and while I do plan my nights better now- somebody tonight is going to plan on calling a cab, not get a cab, and drive home drunk. Odds are he is going to make it home just fine too. Then the next time he will be less likely to try to call that cab, and make it home fine again. Pretty soon that guy's plan will be to drive home no matter what, and eventually the odds will catch up with him and he will be in a crash.
So by seeing that there are cabs available, we will definitely keep one drunk off the road tonight, and maybe prevent a habitual drunk driver.
