Last alcohol drink was around 20 years ago. I’ll very occasionally have a NA beer, but more likely a decent cigar.

I have a glass of wine every night with dinner. I almost always ride in the morning, so the wine doesn't come right after the ride.

None for me. Alcohol has not been among my vices for 30 years.
I enjoyed quite a few such beverages at one time, but ultimately my liver objected strenuously.

Pfft, I don't need to ride my bike to enjoy a few beers or glasses of vino collapso, I find I'm quite capable of imbibing whenever I feel like it. Might be post ride but then again might be post surf/workout/whatever.

I rode straight to my local bar at the end of my last tour. Wasn’t the first time.

I had a beer while riding the trainer last night. I enjoy riding to brewpubs. Having watched several friends die of alcohol related issues I'm a fairly light drinker.

I bought my first decent road bike with the money I saved after 6 months of sobriety. That was 21 years and quite a few bikes ago.

But I should add that I rarely drink right after a ride. Tours are different, especially if I get back to town, I’m hungry and there’s football on.

I usually have one beer with dinner. More often than not it's a Yuengling Black & Tan.

With a little effort you can ride a buzz for a few hours, but no matter how hard you try, you just can’t drink a bike.
Life’s too short to drink bad beer!

In more normal times, often a post-ride beer at the brewpub followed by the final mile home.
Soda pop, OTOH only drunk after 120 miles or more.

I am the very definition of a teetotaler.
In my 54 years of life, the only alcohol that I have knowingly consumed was in Nyquil. Yes, it was for its intended purpose. An employee is always trying to explain to me why people drink, but I have never understood it.
Enjoy your inebriant, but please do it responsibly.

Why do I ride a bike? Well it is fun and enjoyable but I also like donuts, ice cream, and beer. Good beer too and part of the whole picture just avoid it becoming the picture ( alcohol.)

Warsteiner, St Pauli, Dab, Bitburger, and others... My absolute favorite is Kulmbacher Edelherb Pils, but it is very hard to find here in the Midwest. When I do find it, it is a treat!

Most of my long rides are early Sunday mornings (still working so the weekend is the only option) so when I come back from a ride, a nice beverage from the java bean and some breakfast. I don't do group rides but if I did and it was later in the day, I could be convinced to go for a beer, especially on a hot summer day.
Sometimes when the missus and I go for a light ride, we wander down to a patio on a warm summer afternoon and have a drink and a snack. One of those treats we can share together.

Sure -- ride home from work and it's Miller Time. Except it's a nice microbrew with dinner, instead of Miller.

I like beer and wine with a meal. I like Scotch. I like to cook and have a drink on a Friday or a Saturday. But other than that I seldom drink. I find I sleep better if I don't. And it's easier keeping the pounds off.
