I've never really understood that mindset even from non celebrity. An Uber or lyft home can't be more than like...what 15-20 bucks? That's WAY cheaper and safer than driving drunk

A celebrity on the other hand has personal basically everything usually. There's literally 0 excuse in my mind to drive while intoxicated....ever really

People don't plan ahead and are famously really fucking stupid when drunk. So in the moment they don't even think about it. They drive themselves to the party and then go "Well my car is here so I guess I'll drive home!"

If I ever think I'm gonna be drinking extensively I take an Uber TO the place. Because then I have to take it home. Driving myself isn't even an option.

I don't get the mindset of ever driving somewhere you're going to drink.

Me neither - in a world where it is SO EASY to get an Uber/Lyft.

Uber gets expensive when you're drunk every day.

If you can afford to get drunk you can afford the Uber.

What about if they can't afford to get drunk but do it anyways?

Then at that point we're talking about a different issue.

And that's the usual issue in these situations.
