There are probably a lot of factors that have contributed to the increase in high risk drinking, but even if we ignore that, I feel like the trade-off being made here is acceptable.

People who maybe prior couldn't imbibe due to no public transport options etc, have decided now that with ride-hailing apps that this is an available option. Whether or not you agree with the choice they are making, the fact that they even have the choice seems worthwhile.

I'm very happy with a tradeoff where people damage their own health instead of innocent people on the road.

I also wonder how much of this increase in drinking at bars is drinking that would have happened at home previously.
