except the car or truck has a much greater chance of injuring/killing others than does the motorcycle in the hands of an intoxicated driver. i've always thought the indignation over riding and drinking to be somewhat misplaced selfishness.........looking out for number one as it were.

Spent some time in Iowa this summer visiting relatives. They were drinking Busch Light and Miller. SWMBO noted that she'd had three (within an hour) and didn't feel a thing except for the need to empty her bladder. I think I had five, with the same reaction. Maybe it depends upon what beer and the size of the container. I've been to places where certain beers aren't served in volumes any larger than 12 oz because of the alcohol content remember a particular pint that made the floor wobbly when I got off the stool.
Regardless of the beer, I'll do my drinking when the riding is done. Especially now that I have a pillion.

Roy, I heard Don Julio is going to be a rally chair for Camp Beers. I just hope he can ride with his feet up.

maybe because they only serve Domestic Beer.
If it looks the same color coming and going it's not worth drinking?
No to drinking and driving
I spent a lot of years as a police officer, many of which I was on call to investigate all fatal accidents for my department. The vast majority of fatal accidents on the highways involve a driver who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The annual death rate in this country is between 35,000 to 50,000 people on our highways. Most of those people involved have a Blood Alcohol Level of .8 to 1.5, not a high load of alcohol, and can often be reached with a very moderate consumption level.
The first thing that is impaired is judgement, which greatly increases reaction time. Most of those folks would not appear intoxicated to the average individual. Just some things to keep in mind when one decides to enjoy your favorite adult beverage. After all your life and the lives of others can depend on the choices you make.
