Don’t know how it is in West Virginia but in Jersey if you got pulled over because you were Buzzed between the fine and insurance Surchargers and Lawyers fees and then you’ll lose your license for six months to a year so I would say a Big No!

I will occasionally stop at a brewery for 1 beer. 4 beers is just plain stupid. If you want to drink at your brother's house take an Uber.

David, you can be the safest rider in the world but it's your reaction time that is impaired to avoid other stupid motorist's driving judgement /mistakes.

It's safer not to indulge and ride.

ONE beer with a meal is the maximum for me. On the other hand, I can do TWO scoops of ice cream at an afternoon break..... Jim

Drinking is a choice, riding a motorcycle is a privilege. I don't want to see anyone forfeit their riding because of alcohol. I stopped drinking 33 years ago when I forgot to put my feet down at a red light. Yes alcohol was involved. Not only was that embarrassing it was down right stupid. Ride responsible, the life you save may be yours. JMHO

Beer was involved in the only major crash I've had.

Damn near killed me and totaled my bike.

It was a year before I could ride again.

I still love beer and I still love riding. Just not together.

I will have one beer with food when riding but only one and only with food. And I like beer. I could easily drink three more any time. But on the road, no way. Once I get home I will make up for it. Today that’s still taking a big chance.

If I had four beers before I went for a ride couldn’t get 10 miles before I have to pull over and water the grass....

Drinking and Motorcycles go together only slightly worse than Alan (me) and Marriage, no matter how much I enjoyed each of my three marriages. :AGGHH:

You probably can name 3 people who didn't......:laugh:....

Maybe one beer with a meal while riding. Riding and alcohol don't go well together. After the ride, no problem sharing a few with friends!

I only drink when i'm in the middle of 14 hundred acres ....And that's mostly trading shots with the camp cook.. Tequila inspires him to greatness....ThumbUp....

A buddy got a DUI a couple years ago. By the time all was said and done he said it cost him right at $10,000. No more than one beer when out at dinner or Ma drives home.

I can’t stand to ride in a my wife is driving but these days if I have more than 1 beer she’s driving. It just isn’t worth the risk. The heck with my nerves and getting ulcers I guess.

Even one beer will effect your reaction times.

Lots of years ago, we used to race cars on our frozen lakes. We decided to go pro and needed insurance for our group. The Insurance companies laughed when we mentioned, we would headquarters in lakeside bars. We decided to see how much drinking would affect us. We set up traffic cones in a parking lot and ran base times, then gave each a drink and run again. We had several types, from tee totalers, casual drinkers to a case a day Polock and even a pot head. The first one to be affected was the case a day drinker, after only one drink he was knocking down cones even on a rerun. More laughable was the pothead after one joint. He looked like he was driving in slow motion. We decided to limit drivers drinking until after the last checker flag.
