While I've got a captive audience, can someone explain to me how North Americans living outside the few dense urban cities (New York, S.F., etc) manage to have a proper drunken night out? Like, in the UK, I routinely pub crawl and club hop thanks to the frequent buses/Tube/or just the fact that we build our cities more compact and I can walk everywhere, including back home.

But I look at a place like L.A. where the car is so undeniably king and I just have no idea how you manage to go out, get drunk and get home without spending a fortune on taxis. Especially if you live in the suburbs (I never recall seeing a bus once when I lived in suburban America). Designated drivers?
