I can remember the bar staff in Washington calling a cab for a guy, then noting down the taxi number as it drove off. They did this not once but regularly for this guy, a man in his 50s or early 60s. He was not staggering or sloppy drunk, but the bar staff, which dealt all the time with drinkers, thought this wisest.
