It really depends on the area you live. I live in a smaller town, and the people here without cars are usually the kind that also collect welfare or just losers, but in a larger city, it would be more accepted.

Do you have friends you can ride with?

And I honestly dont see the no car thing being an issue, unless youre trying to get a girl back to your place to bang. Most people know someone who has gotten a DWI and they know how it goes.
