According to a UK newspaper The Daily Mail, drunks will be given free taxi rides home after nights out in an attempt to cut violence and anti-social behaviour. Pre-paid taxis are to be provided late on Fridays and Saturdays in the hope that drinkers will avoid getting caught up in trouble as they walk home. The scheme is being tried out for three months by police in Watton, Norfolk, and if it proves successful it could be adopted by other forces around the country.

This is a far cry from what Chicago is considering, a 50 dollar charge for anyone throwing up also known as, hurling, blowing chunks, heaving etc. etc. in a cab.
