How many beers?

[scracha]

What I can't understand are the riders who are prepared to drink more if they are driving. Is it OK to be pissed in your nice steel shell or something?

I find driving far more tiring/difficult than riding.

I think it's a bad idea to have more than one or two beers. I find that even if your under the limit you can be pretty pissed and have shot judgement. A dude I know got pulled up the other night after drinking 14 tui's and he blew under, and he couldn't walk straight.
Rule we make when going out is to have a sober driver or cash for a taxi.

As a general rule I stick with 2 in the 1st hour and 1 for each hour afterwards, with food, to a max of 4 beers.. Helps that I'm a big cunt.. More than that and I generally wont ride. That being said a few times I've probably been legal but not feeling like I had 100% reactions once I got on the road.. Safest bet really is none.

If I'm planning on any serious drinking I get a taxi (or a dial a driver, some of them will ride bikes and it saves having to come pick the bike up if you took it out).

same for me, but its 2 first our 1 every 1 - 1.5hrs with at least 1 hour before last drink, up to six beers (i hit five, but ive driven on six i remember) but 6 over 8/9hrs, im 100kg too so I don't feel drunk after 6 over 8hrs etc Would love a breath tester but so expensive and I don't think they are that accurate?

Also depends on the distance to drive i.e., I usally only drive very short distances late at night with no intersections (i.e., 2km at 3am) and I keep my speed down. I havnt ever had a close call or felt like I would cause an accident.

One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor! Oh. Sorry, it was a beer thread.

Beer is a mans drink, tequlia is a mexicans and strippers drink.

[Hitcher]

Thank you for clearing that up, in a delightfully unapostrophied manner.

[Swoop]

Just the one drink.

Well if you're gonna correct spelling then put in the apostrophe in "it's" .

OFF TOPIC, OFF TOPIC, IT'S PD FOR YOU, PISS OFF!

I'm a big cunt..

I can get a few down before blowing a bad bag but that doesn't mean I take advantage of it. A couple of beers I don't think is a problem, especially if you're a bit older, heavier and have a nibble etc. It's just that if you drink then ride/drive you leave yourself open to suspicion. Also, the bravado creeps in and to deny it would be silly, we all get bigger balls when we're a bit pissed, grab a handful and go harder than we normally would....not always perhaps, but sometimes.

Better to call it quits after a couple. In fact, I rarely drink beer now and there are few bartenders who can pour a borbon the way I like it. I have ridden pissed, once on a beach, late at night where we were camped out, and I canned off, got stuck under the bike and burnt my leg a beauty. Brilliant!
