So, do a majority of people ride or bar hop?

I'd never drink and ride so it's ride all day for me.

You need to re-check the B.A.C. chart.

A 200lb man will completely metabolize the alcohol in one beer per hour. Here... check it out: http://bloodalcoholcalculator.org/#LinkURLhttp://

Not trying to tell somebody they should go out boozing and riding... but ya'll should at least have the right information before you get all judgy.

If it's not flooding, I'm riding. I quit drinking years ago, but my uncle always told me you never have more beers than wheels...don't know if it applies to 18 wheelers though.

I don't get the bar hop type riders at all. I guess Thats why I've put on over 50,000 miles in the last three and a half years on my two bikes.

I don't understand drinking alcohol knowing you will be riding. It's not like you can a designated rider. Even when I used to drink, I wouldn't drink if I'm on my bike. I always try to be extra alert when riding, the last thing I need is a beer buzz.
