Drink and riding?

[iCraig]

Dunno if this was asked on here a while ago but I am just after peoples opinions on this subject.

I personally say to myself if I have any alcohol at all I don't ride at all till the next day/morning, even if its just one!

So what do you do, have 1 or 2 and still ride or are you like me and not touch a drop if you need to ride etc?

[riichy]

i never drink and ride.........i even try not to ride in the morning..untill 12 hours has pasted......


remember never drink and drive kids.................take LSD and fly

I wont have a drop if i have to ride i may have a pint at lunch time if im riding in 3 hours or so but i wont have a pint and then get on the bike.

It just takes the edge of enough for you to loose concentration in that split second that may mean life or death. IMO

Most I have is one pint but that's rare these days. I like to be 100% on the bike.

[Rookie]

6 pints and a line of coke, but no more.

Not on a bike, no drinking at all. It's dangerous enough as it is.

[Reevo8]

[McGee]

And no i dont drink and ride

I have had 1 pint and then got on the bike and gone home, but that was after a little gap between the drinking and then the riding.

I don't drink and then ride anymore though. If a mate at uni wants a drink in the union bar then I'll have a coke rather than a beer, as I would be riding later.

[california_rookie]

The most I've had was a couple glasses of ale over a friendly game of pool. Rode home a little more paranoid than normal, but otherwise fine.

I'll have one and ride, but I try and wait a little while before I get on the bike. It does give you more confidence which isn't really a good thing.

I'd never have more than one and get on the bike, that's just asking for trouble.

Zero, if I'm out on the bike I'll be on Red Bull/Cola/Juice all night.

If I know I'm going riding the next day, I'll only have a beer or two the night before.

Strange, I used to be the usual kind of Student-Binge-Drinker when there was any reason for a night out; now it's just down the pub twice a week or so, not drinking at all some nights.

Now where did I leave my slippers..........

[Aikman666]

Rat arsed last night...Came in, played motogp...Managed to kill a few people im sure, but after a couple of minutes i became more aware and done a shit hot lap....Then fell asleep....Still won though!

Then passed out in bed and left my MP3 player on all night

I would never ride after having a pint.

I've taken to riding a pushbike home from work cos I like to stop at the off licence to get a couple of cans on the way home. Its difficult to drink whilst riding me TL.

[Shaun]

I'll have a couple, more if I'm after some confidence for the ride home.

[Wave2k]

ill only have a max of 3 if im riding

[romperstomper...]

me and a mate go for a ride daytime and will stop at a couple of pubs ,2 pints stella ....

Have gone on the piss a few times got shit faced then rode to my girlfriends in the next town ,sure I ride better when pissed I really learn in to those corners ,although reaction times are slowed !

Always regret doing it the next day its really not worth losing your licence for !

[instigator]

Won't go on the bike if I've taken any alcohol, no matter how much I want to. It's not a case of thinking I'll crash it, more that I'm a lightweight (in drinking terms and weight wise) and any alcohol in my bloodstream will put me over the limit.

[Shaun]

Went out last night, only had about 5 and a JD and coke. Rode home fine.

[SoND]

I'd only have the one drink and ride but that's only if I'm not going out for a proper ride. On a proper ride I like to be 100%.

Drink driving is a fucking stupid and bad idea.

There's too many dangerous idiots on the road without them being pissed aswell.
