Great idea. I had thoughts of implementing a similar service. However, the sad 
honest truth is that these programs have been tried and they don't work. First 
of all, it is not cost-effective (unless you figure in liability in anecdotal 
instances such as the one discussed. Even then, it's no guarantee from such 
litigation which occurs about as frequently as winning the lottery). And 
secondly, all these ‘save-a-life’ programs have been good for is to offer free 
rides for soaks from one bar to another. 
	The bottom line is; we can’t, as a society, continue to attack the symptoms 
of social ills with so-called ‘easy fixes’. At the risk of sounding an 
epidemical alarm, it is as good as plugging holes in a bursting damn. We must 
hold people accountable to their own PERSONAL RESPONIBILITY.

I try, but I can only do so much. Humbly yours,

Jefe
