Kinda ruins the whole "Don't Drink and Drive- Call a Cab" thing, doesn't it?

I have no problems with taking people places after they have had
a few drinks, but there are limits...

My basic rules of thumb are that if the customer can't give me an
address I can't go there; if the customer's yelling at me and being
insulting I don't have to take that customer anywhere; if the customer
is staggering and falling down, that customer is unfit to travel. There's
nothing wrong with being somewhat drunk, but unconscious and
puking are beyond my limits. It's always a judgement call...
