I'm so grateful that Uber exists, precisely for those places where those alternatives don't really exist, and so the choices are trying to bum a ride, or god forbid, driving drunk.

Haha, that is always an option... but I'd rather the drunks be able to use an app to get home, than fight the larger, and largely self-defeating battle of trying to convince or cajole people into not getting out of their heads.

I have heard of this crazy thing. You call a number, and a car will magically appear and take you home.

I think they call it Taxi service, or something.
