I agree that the girl needs more than a lift home, but ignoring her and tossing her out like trash isn't going to solve the problem. He can help her find some resources to start on the path instead of leaving her in a situation where she might get behind the wheel of a car and kill someone.
This is an EX g/f, not someone he lives with, or is married to. He dated her briefly. Not picking her up because she's drunk is hardly "tossing her out like trash." It is merely declining to get sucked further into someone else's drama, which is of her own making and which she apparently has no current interest in giving up.
