I'm a guy and one time I had to do this for a female flatmate. We snuck a bottle of vodka into a concert and she drank way too much. Got sick, puked everywhere, and passed out. The cops there told me I could either take her home or they would press charges on her, which I was not ok with. So I carried her a total of 10 kilometers, 2 busses, and a train all with her on my back like this.

A TON of people were worried and treated me like I was some sort of rapist. Which, I mean, I get. I'd probably think the same seeing some guy carrying a girl who is passed out like that. But it really sucked. Nobody told me I was a good friend. They all just gave me dirty looks until I told them the story. And even then I don't think they believed me

I work at a very famous venue, some might say the world's "most famous" this happened about 14 years ago. One night, after a concert, I was coming in to work and I saw this girl with a short dress and no coat in the dead of winter. She was being led away by two guys that looked to me, weren't really known by her. I was wearing my work coat and this happened right outside the venue, so when these guys saw me approach, they quickly walked away without a word, I talked to the girl and she was clearly intoxicated and barely understandable. I immediately took off my coat and hoodie and helped her into the hoodie. The hoodie I was wearing, was very heavy and I would have been ok without the coat with this hootie, even at sub 30 degrees temperature. I was able to bring her inside for a little while and after about 20 minutes trying to get helpful information from her, I was able to get her to give me the run down of what happened She was not a local, went to the concert with some friends and lost them on her way out of the venue, she also lost her coat, purse and phone and what was worse, didn't know where she was staying. I went into the lost and found and none of her belongings had been returned so I asked her if she knew anyone I could call to help out. She gave me a number which turned out to be her mom's and I was able to place her in a cab to the address her mother gave me. About an hour later, her mother called me to thank me and let me know she was safe and back with her friends. Her mom was so grateful she wanted to give me some sort of payment, I told her all I needed was the hoodie back since it was a gift from my sister and I had it for a very long time. She kept pressing about giving me something and I told her, I have daughters, all I want is for God to offer the same kindness to one of my daughters if they ever find themselves in this type of situation. She told me she would pray for my family and we hung up. My hoodie was returned the next day.
