Hey cj and Live and Learn - Maybe you got some inside info that I don't, but - where does it say he was at a bar? And if he was, which one stays open until 4am?

Lessons: Don't park your car on the street and bartenders should confiscate keys of drunken bar patrons to make them take a taxi home.

Have you ever tried to call a cab for someone else? They won't come pick up a drunk person if they can't call themselves! I've tried and they refused!
