Parked her car and given her a ride home??
You couldn't force her, but you could have offered.
Yeah - had a conversation in the parking lot one night with a drunk. I let her get in her car to drive home - just made sure I left before her! I didn't have any moral dilemma whatsoever.
I would have called the police and waited until they arrived....
[Or you could have followed her home if you were a real stand up guy, idk It's a tough call.

Follow her home? Why? So you can watch her crash in front of you? I laugh when people say "I'll follow you home to make sure you get there safely". Or the SOMD evasion technique of: "I am sober, I'll stay behind you so a po po can't see you swerving".
off-duty officers that like to work private security with their government owned vehicles and equipment could instead start providing a free ride home service for people who have drank too much alcohol.
I'm sure the county would gratefully accept your offer to fund that service.
One rainy night after work after seeing a car hydroplane in to a ditch. Was going to help the guy get it out. Even went out of my way to help him he was going South bound and I was going North bound in the middle of "NO WHERE" after midnight. By the time I got South side he was on the North side. I went to the North side again I could see him walking the service road. Raining by the buckets full felt really sorry for the guy. I said to myself If I will go to the service road I have to trail him one more time forget it. I Finally got to catch up to him he open the door. I said I give a lift up here to the local service station where I knew there was normally a trooper and maybe the three of us could push you out. Well, Next thing I see and hear the car door slamming like the glass was going to break out of the door and "F that". Stopped at the station any how told Trooper the story and he said car was more then likely stolen wanted my name address etc and was starting to drag in to your have to go to court type of attitude. NEVER Again I will call first *77 or 911. But never getting to involved again.
Here's a great solution: maybe the off-duty officers that like to work private security with their government owned vehicles and equipment could instead start providing a free ride home service for people who have drank too much alcohol.
We would benefit by having their police presence at bars and on the road, which they claim is a proven deterrent to reducing crime, and the roads would be much safer.
