Just like a driver is expected to be responsible and abide by all traffic laws, pedestrians also have to behave reasonably and responsibly. If drunk, you can also reach out to a friend or a family member to come and pick you up. Remember that walking drunk is never a substitute for driving drunk. By being responsible, you can help prevent accidents that can completely change a person’s life.
