On a christmas markets or similar action i usually go to drink som alcoholic beverages how does it work in us if you have to drive home?
Options are:
Stay at a friends place
Have someone drive you
Get an uber/lyft/taxi
Drive drunk anyway
Ya in order of least to most likely -_-
There's a reason we have so many drunk driving accidents. The responsible groups will designate one person to not drink at all so they can drive. You'll see Uber or Lyft a little bit more now too.
Basically everyone just gambles with other people's lives.
It’s the American Way ^tm
Wait until you hear about parking minimums at bars.
@Fabrik872 @Sine_Fine_Belli Though we're not the majority, there are plenty of USians who don't live in sprawl hell and there's probably some correlation between going to public downtown events and living and/or working near downtown. Suburbanites who commute to a downtown office are likely to be somewhat more familiar with transit options than their neighbors who never leave suburbia.
