its cool that there are so many responsible riders...nice to know. heck i used to drink like a fish and all it did was get me in trouble. oh and totaled my brand new grand prix wide track....no good. now imt he guy they call when they are drunk and need a ride lol

 

I drink & ride all the time.

I ride Septa (the Philly public bus system)
I ride in the back of my friends' cars
I ride in the back of my gf's car

Mostly Septa tho. That way my gf & friends can join me in the Land of Drunken Behavior

 

most ppl have enuf trouble driving drunk on four wheels dont really think its the smartest thing to double the risk by going 50% off on four wheels.. never ride drunk! or even think of doing so! I normally leave the bike home if i know Im going to a place thats got alcohol as i know I cannot resist a scotch on the roxx if some one offers..

 

only drank and drove a car once when i was in high school woke up in a different county in a strangers driveway with my car still running no idea where i was for little while, granted it wasnt just a few drinks i was plastered young and dumb but still never drove after 2 drinks in me and never never rode after drinking any amount

 

"the back of my gf's car" ? teehee. Why doesn't she let you ride in the front?

 

My choice: easier to pass out laying down

 

i been hung over and ridden..did not feel comtorable at all.. i dont even want to find out how it feels to drink n ride..wont ever do it..

 

I drink a lot. I ride a lot. But never at the same time. And being hung over and riding is drunk riding. I have used a breathalyzer when I was "hungover" the next morning and blew a .10 (.08 is the legal limit here).

 

damn never thought of it like that. but i learned my lesson.

 

I've ridden my bike to crazy parties. When I say parties, I mean, if the party got any bigger, we'd be in the neighbors' kitchens. I had two beers when I walked in, and then two hours later, left, and rode home totally fine.

My trick to know when I'm OK to ride/drive home is when I normally question if I am. I either know or I don't.

However, riding tired is just as scary. I had been up for about 30 hours, but in all honesty, felt ok. Had a 30 minute nap at hour 20. But I was an hour and a half away form home on my bike, and had to drive home at 1AM. I will NEVER do that again. Not only do you space, but I would space out to the point where I wouldn't remember MINUTES. I'm amazed I got it home.
