I don't get the whole sprawl argument... it's not like it takes forever to get around. I'd hear people in Omaha say something like "it's great, you can get anywhere in Omaha in about 20 minutes" and then say KC has too much sprawl... uh, it really doesn't take more than 20-30 minutes to get anywhere here, either. And as far as a big city like Chicago, you're just substituting the 20-30 minute drive for sitting in a subway for 20-30+ minutes (not including the waiting and walking)... and if you work downtown and live in the suburbs it's probably more like an hour+.

I would not go out "drinking" if I had to drive 20-30 minutes or more home. That's just asking for problems.
In big cities with good to great public transportation (or even great cabs, which the KC metro area does NOT have), it's easy to go out at will without worrying about a DUI or drinking and driving in general.
