What if buddy couldn't get tickets to the local sporting game because they were sold out. Let's use those Calgary Flames for example. He showed up on Saturday night at 7:59pm for the Oilers vs. the Flames showing on Hockey Night in Canada only to find out the demand exceeded supply. So instead he goes to a bar, gets drunk and drives home at the end of the night. Should put the flames in the social responsibility group too. Nah, because common says says MAYBE, just MAYBE he should have looked into the tickets in advance, maybe ordered some a few hours earlier, or maybe a few days/weeks.
Or wait, is that equally as stupid as my bridge analogy? Yes, it is.
If drunky drunk was worried about not having a cab maybe he should have booked one in advance. Everyone knows the implications of drinking and driving. EVERYONE. Those that choose to get in the car are ignoring those implications whether they're too drunk to realize it or not.

actually a more apt analogy in this city would be calling ahead and buying flames tickets, but when he went to pick them up before the game the flames decided not to even show up that night, game was cancelled. Then another ticket service company came into town and offered to sell tickets and the games actually took place. Everyone would welcome this new ticket service and the old broken ticket service would be rightly run out of business.
you can never count on a taxi you booked showing up, I can't count the number of times I've waited for one, also friends missing a flight because the cab they booked never comes, and these are not peak hours either.
