Heh. On my first tour I fell backwards getting out of my tent after a few too many and tore the fly a bit. Nothing a little fabric tape couldn't fix. Kind of surprised it didn't happen more often. Drinking was a pretty regular post-ride activity for several in our group of twelve. For one in our group, it was a mid-ride activity.
