1 beer is my limit also if I am riding. Once we are done for the day I have been known to have at least 1 more beer.

I won't touch a drop when I pull the bike out. I think it's ignorant enough to drink and drive in a vehicle, where at least you have something around you; on a cycle it's damn near suicidal. Understand I have an alcoholic uncle who tried to kill me in his truck when I was younger: the road curved, he didn't.
Hence the strong opinion on the subject.
If it doesn't have an engine, it's not a sport, it's only a game. (borrowed from strom)
The idea is to die young............as late as possible.

One maybe two is my limit. Depending how long between second drink and departure time. That applies to the cage also. I don't like to get drunk anymore. Drunk=sick, sick=no fun. Therefore, no drunk. I can honestly say that I haven't been drunk in over fifteen years.Comment

1 beer, finished at least 2 hours before I ride again. So basicaly if I'm out I dont drink anything stronger then Coke.1979 XS1100 - "Blue Belle"Comment

I agree with Marty. I'm bad enough sober. I don't think I've ever drank a beer before riding the bike. I have done it in my car for the short trip from the resteraunt to the hotel.
I was meeting some freinds at the local Jeds bar and grill after work on a hot nasty day and ordered a pitcher of Vodka lemonade. It went down pretty quick because I was real thirsty. I didn't even notice how drunk I had become until they showed up and we went to sit at the outside tables. I discovered I could no longer walk.
That was different. Didn't feel the slightest bit of a problem but I couldn't get my legs to work.79 XS1100F "JINGUS"

I quit drinking alchohol on Dec 17th (1979). I discovered that when drunk I like to fight. No need to drink. Never drank and drove, just staggered.Pat Kelly

Not sure why we're talking about this here, but I haven't had a drink since Oct 6 1985. (I was too good at it or not worth a SH-- at it depending on your point of view) Prior to that I somehow had the sense to figure out I drank to much to ride. Anyway life since has been better than I ever dreamed.Russ Neal
