"Did you miss the: “…their is no Lift, no conventional cabs, no friend to drive."
No. My alternative methods did not include Lyft, Cabs or friends due to the parameters of those options not being available. Walking does not include the use of Lyft, Cabs or friends driving. Staying at the location does not involve the use of Lyft, Cabs, or friends. Calling 911 does not involve the calling of Lyft, Cabs or friends.
My assessment is that the parameters were followed when providing alternatives.
"That is: “…’Inebriated…”, Not Sober"
I stated "inebriated beyond the point of legal driving" and would consider that sentence as evidence that I meant to consider the person inebriated and not sober.
I do not consider that when Uber denies service and no Lyft, Cabs, friends or means any means of public or private transportation are available that an inebriated person, being a person who is not sober, has only one option. That one option being "driving". As such I feel alternatives exist, such as walking or if they are inebriated past the point of walking they could crawl. (At that point I would consider them incapacitated and this in most municipalities, and states by law require a medical evaluation.)
They could stay in the location they are given inclement weather would not result in severe injury or death. They could call 911 given they have the resources and get taken to a hospital (Ive seen thousands of these) for evaluation. Also if inclement weather would result in severe injury or death the use of 911 would be considered appropriate by most emergency service standards.
I do not believe if denied a ride when inebriated that driving is the only option.
