What do you call someone who's had too much to drink?
A cab!
Pun-derful
Did You Know?
The answer plays on "call a cab" - what you should do when intoxicated! Taxi cabs got their name from "taximeter cabs" in the late 1800s, with "taximeter" measuring distance traveled. The checkered pattern on many taxis originated in the 1920s for visibility. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have reduced drunk driving incidents by 6-10% in cities where they operate. The first motorized taxi appeared in 1897 in Germany. Always designate a sober driver or use transportation services when drinking!
