The good thing about buzzed/tipsy/mildy drunk drivers is that they're usually worried about getting caught so they're paying attention.
Probably significantly less dangerous than Sally Cubicle coming up behind you at the light while applying lipstick and texting during the morning rush hour.

Though if you're hoping for help, there is a better chance of pedestrians being around during the day.
