I can open a private, members only club which serves alcohol past the traditional last-call time. In the same way, Ubercab could charge a membership fee, and then only people who are members can be picked up by Ubercab. (I'm not a lawyer so I don't know if this is actually possible, I'm just trying to rephrase tswicegood's argument.)

Yes, in the same way it becomes totally legal to sell cocaine as long as you only sell to members of your private club.
(Note: IANAL.)

Catching a ride in a car is not a schedule 2 drug, fortunately.
It's almost never legal to possess cocaine in the U.S. - it's a schedule II drug. Alcohol is not a controlled substance. AFAIK, I (as a private citizen - not a business) am allowed to serve alcohol to anyone I choose, as long as they are over 21 years of age.
