Maybe that’s true, but is it really worth the risk?

Yes! I don’t drink any more though, but it sure was fun when I was younger. I should clarify in the original post that I was talking about dirt bikes.

That does make it sound a little better. At least then you were probably only risking harming yourself.
Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 months ago
We were never harmed in a decade of doing that, so I’d call it a win. I’m not talking about getting hammered, I’m talking about having a couple of beers before you go riding.

You sound like a donorcycle rider. One who is casual about potentially traumatising and/or injuring others.

I’m talking about riding in the dirt.

To be fair, if they really, honestly, stick to one or two drinks, they should be under the legal limit in most places in the US. The problem is that it’s easy and tempting to overdo it, but as long as they have self discipline to not ever drink too much, it can be fine.

Legal doesn’t mean safe; it just means the lawmakers are too corrupt, stupid, cowardly, or weak to tighten the limit.
