i also bar tend and feel i am a very competent bicyclist. i've ridden home drunk/wasted/buzzed a million times. i've never crashed, never been stopped by the cops. my commute to work is less than two miles and flat. traffic is not heavy at all by the time i leave work (drunk). these things contribute to my thoughts on drunk biking. dunno if i could do it if my ride was twice that or if in heavy traffic, etc. to me it's like muscle memory, hop on ride home. alcohol affects us all differently.
