Not that it would make a difference but I wonder how many times drunk drivers have tried to get a cab at 2:30am?

There is also a problem in some larger cities where cabs won't even take you if you live too far. They make more money taking a bunch of short fares than driving one person out to the suburbs and then having to drive all the way back with no fare.
They aren't technically allowed to do that, but it happens all the time. I know people that driven after drinking because of that. Not that drinking and driving is ever excusable. If someone is going to drink, then they need to figure out safe transportation and if they can't afford, then they don't need to drink. But sometimes the logistics do convince people to make the wrong the decision easier.
