There is never an excuse for driving drunk it's pure selfishness and irresponsibility. Can't call a cab or find another way home? Don't get drunk.
If I couldn't get a cab but instead walked home completely sober but jaywalked onto Deerfoot for a shortcut and got hit and killed would anyone blame the taxi industry?

Jesus, no one is arguing with you there. But guess what? People WILL get drunk and decide to drive after not being able to get a cab. It doesn't matter what they should do, it only matters what they will do. Drunk driving happens in this city due to lack of transportation options, that's just a simple fact. Adding in another transportation option that can flexibly expand during peak hours will help reduce that, morality doesn't need to come into this conversation at all
