Default RE: Drinking and riding

I'll drink and ride the bike, but I don't drink and drive when in the truck......I know...it makes no since....and drinking and driving/riding anything is stupid......&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I'm not an alcoholic...an alcoholic is a person that goes to meetings and understands he has a problem....I'm one of the folks unfortunately that has a problem but fails to admit it....
&nbsp\\;
My rational is that on a bike I'm less likely to get to get stopped because I don't have an open container.....
&nbsp\\;
How stupid is that!!!

Personally, I may do one drink before eating lunch (beer) of dinner (Margarita)\\; no food no drink.

*Zero* alcohol when I ride. The cold ones I crack open when I get home taste even better that way.
