Not everyone drinks or do drugs.
Everyone who drives, or who rides while someone else drives, or who walks or bikes near a road, absorbs the risk of impaired drivers.
True, but at least from were I’m from almost nobody drives impaired.
Or, at least they don't declare it loudly.
Narhh it is pretty frowned upon and those who do it don’t care about free public transport anyway.
Where is it not frowned up? (Okay, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and all of Balkans. But otherwise?)
Big parts of the US? The justification being, how do you otherwise go home from the bar in a small town?
That's sad to hear. And maybe something I could have figured out. But didn't.
In a small town I'd assume you'd just walk, though. Depending on how you define "small town", of course! Or alternatively, take a taxi of some kind. Or have your friends ferry you around?
I'm not a USAian, but this is what I heard what the praxis would be like there. Even a small town would typically not be walkable, you'd need the car to go around. Of course, taking a taxi or having a designated driver would be a good solution, but it's common to drive yourself.
