Then Cabbies would have no fares after 10:00 pm.
I'm seres. When I used to drink and over imbibe at the 'local watering hole', it was SOP to go back to the office and sleep on my couch. I always called a cab, even though it was less than a mile away.
Though I was such a 'good customer ($$$$$)' many times the Owner would give me a ride back in his Benz. Or his partner would have his chauffeur take me in his limo [I only drank in classy joints ;-)]
LOL I didn’t realize so many drunks took taxis. Better than them driving, though.
