Riding hungover
I cant call the kettle black and I love to have my Jack and beer chaser, but I will not get on the bike drinking or with a hangover. I've lost a few buddies that did different so I really don't want to end up like that. If you feel that you should not ride, don't. It is that simple. Ride safe.

Yep, twenty years ago a morning ride after a heavy night of drinking was a hangover cure. Nowadays I rarely get hangovers so there is nothing to cure. Would I ride if I had a hangover now? Probaby, if it was necessary, but not if it wasn't necessary.

I did it once some 30 years ago when I was in my 20s. I am sure I was legally sober cause it was at least 12 hours since my last drink and I had slept for 6-7 hours. Still felt hazy though. First red light I came to I stopped and promptly fell over. Forgot to put my feet down! Once I got it back up, with the help of a driver behind me, I turned around and went straight back home. Never rode with a hangover again, ever!
