So we typically go to the desert for New Year's and drinking isn't an issue because we're not driving.
This year we went to a friend's 50th/New Year's party. Wanting to do the responsible thing we got a hotel near his house and Uber'd to his place, $15 or something like that.
About 1:30a we call Uber to pick us up. Because it's New Year's Eve they put a "surcharge" multiplier on their rates. The ride back to the hotel was over $100. Yea, 7 miles, 15 minutes was over $100.
Still cheaper than a DUI, accident or manslaughter charge, but seriously.
Sadly I had not drank that much and could have probably driven but didn't have a choice.
Buyer beware... Check the surcharge before you order a ride, there may be less expensive alternatives.
