I just wish we had safe and reliable public transport for 11pm - 3am over weekends (to and from the places) , then i'd be much more likely to change my behaviour. I was in Amsterdam a month ago and we drank like fish every night all over the city (and outside the city) , we could walk, bus, train and even cycle our way home every single time without incident. Hell a few times it was quite a sobering walk. If i could do that here, i would never go out for drinks with a car.
As it is, cabs cost like R12.50 p/km and always charge a "call out" fee on top of that . Then you still have to wonder what happens to your car if you arrived with one. Companies like GoodFellas who drive your car home, require even more money from you and limits your options as well. It's rare that i go to one single place etc.
