I like an occasional Scotch and soda or a beer but NEVER drink before riding or driving.

I did all my serious drinking in the Service and stopped that s*** shortly after that.  My wife didn't drink as she had an alcoholic father set a bad example for her.

I'll never forget at a CBR I was trying to impress my lady friend (at that time).  I told her that VRCC members never drank and ride.  Shortly after that she wasn't impressed to find out that I was wrong.

Interesting to note that at the wedding reception for my youngest son, we kept it 'Dry' and everyone still had a good time and no worry about lawsuits.

It's also interesting to note that on a motorcycle, only the passenger could be drunk and cause an accident.

In any case, it's your arse, and maybe others, that gets busted if you drink and drive(ride).

glad you learned your lesson that easily.  sometimes people end up killing someone else before they learn. 

i've never drank then drove.  i can't understand why here in wisconsin it seems to be a right of passage into "manhood".  last christmas (two weeks ago) a coworker put his brand new truck into a guys front living room!  his third DUI. many of my coworkers drink and drive, many of them have spent time in jail, many of them look at me as the "odd-ball"!! 

someone please explain "Poker Rides" to me??  uglystupid2

no alcohol was involved in those smiles  cooldude , but several rounds were had at dinner...

Used to have a drink and then ride, but stopped over 20 yrs ago. My tolerance decreased as I grew older. Will have a little wine with dinner when in the cage but limit myself.

Never when I bike, but I'll have a beer with my meal at a restaurant occasionally.  The problem is they're too high anymore, and I'd rather take the money and pick it up from the grocery store and enjoy it over a longer period of time.  That's just me.

1 beer or drink with a meal is still to many while riding or driving. There is a right time to enjoy a tasty beverage and if you are planning on turning the key in any ignition to get from point A to point B and back is not the right time no matter how many or how little you have had to drink.
1 is all it takes. *55 is the number here in Oklahoma to call the state troopers and I have and will use it if I see anyone that is drinking and driving.
The money,jobs and life that ones stands to loose is just not worth that $3 to $7 dollar drink.
My answer to the question is, no I do not drink and then drive or ride.

I try to keep at least 8 hours between a drink and a drive or ride, preferably 12.  I think I've violated that rule once in the last 10 years -- had been promised a ride back to the hotel, but they weren't willing to leave when I wanted to, so I got on the bike and rode, though it had only been four hours since my one and only beer.

As far as drinking and riding, can't say I'm a purist as non drinking goes.
If with a small group of friends and a good large meal, a beer with the meal will make the day.
When with a moderate sized group or larger like in a dinner ride, raspberry Ice tea is the drink of choice.

Since changing jobs a few years ago I don't have weekends off so Poker Runs have been virtually nil for me. When I was getting them in, I'd have a beer every other stop. This would put at least an hour between beers.

But the problem is that we now have a large group of riders that are stopping at bars and drinking and drinking in large numbers while riding together would seem to be somewhat "unsafe".<- In Sarcastic font. So I'm happy to not get in on those so much anymore.

Here's another case where somebody didn't allow anybody to impose their rule on him or get into his rights to drink and drive. And a family lost their little 6 year old child. Isn't in wonderful to know that people have a "right" to drink and drive?

LEXINGTON, SC (WIS) - A 6-year-old was killed in a felony DUI accident Sunday morning, according to the Lexington Police Department.

Authorities say Emma Longstreet was a passenger in a vehicle that was hit by a vehicle traveling west on Sunset Boulevard around 10:40am.

Police say 26-year-old Billy Patrick Hutto Jr. has been charged with felony driving under the influence causing death and felony driving under the influence causing great bodily injury.

Hutto is being held at the Lexington County Detention Center and scheduled to appear in bond court Monday at 10:00am.

Officials say traffic on Sunset Boulevard was detoured while police investigated the scene. Traffic was reopened a little later in the afternoon.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol's MAIT unit helped investigate the accident.

Ditto!!! It's just ashamed to get into someones right to drink and drive, killing a 6 year old child and sometimes taking out entire innocent families. But smokers have no rights- they've past so many laws against smoking, it's not even funny and the only person they are hurting are themselves.

Little off subject, they are trying to make helmets mandatory. There is a 52% approval so far. I will be in Columbia the 10th.

Yeah.  I do have the right to drink and drive.  Not get drunk and drive, like the perp in your story.  I'll have a glass of wine with dinner.  Or two beers, total, and stop.  That means normal size, 12 oz, not a couple big schooners.  Yeah I knew someone like you who has a personal issue with it, would twist my words.  I don't really care.  I know my limit and I observe it absolutely.  At my size, I am certain an alcohol measurement would not exceed half the most strict state limit, after I have stopped at my limit.  I'm not a lightweight. I'm not a pilot, or being responsible for passengers.  If I was the former, I would observe the law which is what, 12 hours or so?  And the latter - now I already cut my limit in half - 1 beer.

Yes...  I know my limits and will have 1 or 2 with dinner or when the mood takes... however, seldom more than one on the bike.....

There is a reason for a Legal limits.... most people can have a drink or 2 and still function quite normally... possibly better... some people should not drink at all..... up to you and your body....

my 2 cents.......

Moderation by all means.

I find it ironic that some people "will have a few and drive the cage, but never the bike."

For one, that car weighs 4 times what your bike weighs.  Speed times weight equals how much damage you can do to the other driver.

Secondly, I drive my bike 10 times the mileage yearly, that I do in my car.  If I have one or two and then drive, I'm personally safer on Valkyrie.

Didn't twist any words. You took a stand on your "right" to drink and drive. My "personal issue" with drinking and driving is that I have a serious dislike for innocent people getting maimed and killed by people who drink and drive. You don't like my stand on it... I don't really care.

We're getting down to splitting hairs here... some people are good to go with a beer or two in them,
and some people (me for example) are half buzzed after one beer. I'm guessing none of us think it is a good
idea to ride or drive while intoxicated...

I'm with Sugarbear on this one. I am 63 years old and have never had an alcoholic drink. I saw how it affected my father and didn't like the memories so made myself a promise that my children would never see me like that. Never smoked either. Before marriage I was in the all kinds of sport activities and wanted to stay in excellent shape. Unfortunately, that ended with marriage (LOL).  Before someone else says it, I realize this does not make me better than anyone else or special in any way,
and I don't think that way at all. It's just my choice for my life. I don't criticize anyone who drinks if they do it responsibly. To each his own.

I am in the camp with the "occasionally a single beer with lunch" crowd.  Maybe on one out of ten rides with my group, never when the wifes is riding with me that I can remember.
My hard drinking days are way behind me and besides, the beers are much better and cheaper here at the house!

I don't drink alcohol much to begin with, prefer a good cup of coffee. I play music with a few chums who think they sound better after a few drinks. I've recorded them before and after a few drinks. They were shocked to hear how much better they play cold sober. It's a lesson for us all. I have 3 brothers, we all ride. The rule is drink only after the riding for the day is done, no exceptions.

Too much food or beer puts me to sleep so I never eat and drive or ride long distances.
If I'm close to home and on my way home, I may stop for a light meal and have 1/2 a glass of beer.

I won't stop for mixed a drink or a beer while I'm riding or driving. But, I'll have a drink or a beer, and with a long sit, maybe two with dinner while riding but not if I'm driving a cage.

It's hard enough to stay alert while being bored in a cage. Alcohol would only make it worse. When I have to drive a cage then I don't drink anything which doesn't contain caffeine, the more the better. For me, the only way to stay alert when mailing myself somewhere in a cage is to have someone interesting to talk to or to have a good audio book. I suppose some would call either one distracted driving, but they probably have a higher boredom threshold than I do.

I am just curious. I have seen the word "cage" mentioned in several post on this thread.  Can someone tell me what that means??

I won't stop for mixed a drink or a beer while I'm riding or driving. But, I'll have a drink or a beer, and with a long sit, maybe two with dinner while riding but not if I'm driving a cage.

It's hard enough to stay alert while being bored in a cage. Alcohol would only make it worse. When I have to drive a cage then I don't drink anything which doesn't contain caffeine, the more the better. For me, the only way to stay alert when mailing myself somewhere in a cage is to have someone interesting to talk to or to have a good audio book. I suppose some would call either one distracted driving, but they probably have a higher boredom threshold than I do.

I am just curious. I have seen the word "cage" mentioned in several post on this thread.  Can someone tell me what that means??



Cage = 4 wheeled vehicle. Since you're in a "cage"... As opposed to being in the open on a motorcycle...

I know it is pollitically correct to answer "no"   angel .  I don't, but that's because I don't drink but a couple of times a year, so my reply doesn't mean much anyway.  What I do know is that I personally know one of the guys who posted, and he shouldn't have replied the way he did  Roll Eyes .
