Beers and riding

[McDuck]

I dont even drink.... dont see why i should spend all that cash on somthing i dont like the tast of when i could spend it on gas for bike

[Clivoris]

Just the one for me and I'm embarassed even to admit to that. Mixing booze and bikes is too risky.

[snot]

Yeah - I'll admit to drinking the light stuff... when on bike, or a driver - I've found that the flavour of Lions 'Light Ice' improved considerably by adding a slice of lemon (al la Corona) into the bottle, then drinking. Quite pleasant in fact...

I am happy to admit I will have a few drinks with driving and sometimes two or three with riding. I know the limits well as I used to blow on the machine after a drinks with the boys at the end of shift..... the amazing thing was how much variance there is between different people and it also depends on many other factors, prior sleep, food intake, prior drinking over a long period, body type etc etc.

I could have 6 beers and be half the limit, another guy would do 5 and be over the limit - and so needed a ride home. He was smaller and more lean than me.

Basically it varies for everyone. The last person I caught before leaving the job was under 20 - he had one pint and was over the limit. Food for thought for the younger riders out there - it may not take much at all.

The legal limit is quite generous. So if you are over it, you are an idiot. You don't want to hear those words "you are now required to accompany me....".

.... or worse "we gather here today to remember....."

1 or 2 on the bike .. although its soft drinks and warm milk for the cage. I find that a few beers increases my confidence, which I'm lacking in atm.

Will have one light beer if riding/driving. nothing more.

[johnnyflash]

well as a general rule I only drink softdrink while riding but I have been known to partake of ONE if Im eating as well and its a celebration.. but NEWER more than ONE, my preference is for softdrink

Cheeky sod. Didn't say I preferred it. ...well cheap alcohol is OK... - but my preferred tipple is 8yo Wild Turkey (101proof) - or even more preferred is the 1855 Reserve barrel proof (110proof), but that's like rocking horse droppings to get a hold of these days - and it's not weak. OR cheap. Dammit.
But I learned a long time ago that firewater and bikes don't mix. Neither do big ditches and 1100's at speed. Took me a few more years and a new alternator to realise that lots of beers and a bike still aren't that much of a fun idea either. Sometimes I'm a slow learner. But I think I've got it worked out now.

I'll have a smallish glass of wine or a single mixer before driving my car and know I'm well under the limit but being a newbie rider, don't feel confident riding after even one, I'd probably drop my bike trying to park it

And here we were thinking we'd taught you something at RRRS

I think the limit on L or even R is pretty much zero anyway isnt it?

Hey I'm not that bad, at least I didn't try and run you over unlike someone else

30mg for under 20, 80mg for 20+ has no bearing on license grade

Got a bucket of Corona,
Enough stories to last all night,
About the trials and tribulations,
Of findin' Mr. Right
Of findin' a good man.

Here's to the liars and the cheaters
And the cold mistreaters
To the mama's boys who can't make a stand.
Here's to the superficial players
The I love you too-soon sayers
If you hear me girls raise your hand
Let's have a toast
Here's to findin' a good man.

Blind dates and horror stories
Pushy guys and fast movers
Let's dedicate this girl's night out
To big talkers bad losers
It's so hard findin' a good man.

generally I will have 2 max, cage or bike, although i willl stretch to 3 if i have a big feed.

[Ghost_Bullet]

Would toatlly depend on how long stopped at the watering hole, and if any food etc was consumed, along with if a lite beer as well.

[ambler]

I might ride after at most two drinks, then about 3hrs wait beforehand. But even then it depends on the month of year and day of week, because the legal limit here is a nice round zero, so if the fuzz are out doing breathtests it would be bybye license.
