Rinse. Repeat.

I can't walk anything resembling a straight line by the end of the night but at least I won't be driving home drunk.

At no point, ever, did they say anything like public transport being a necessary condition to have people drinking. Come on.

I've simply never heard anyone suggest a move to the city, so they could drink more easily, or more often.

That includes people I grew up with in a rural setting, and people I know well in the large city I now live in.

I feel that this is perhaps a thought given rise, by people who haven't lived without public transit. It just doesn't scan.

Designated drivers have been a thing forever, as well as passing out on a buddy's couch.

If anything, people in rural areas seem to drink more, due to boredom, compared to city dwellers.

Maybe your experiences are different, but it sure seems strange on this side of the screen.
