This is the greatest thread ever!!! I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who does this! I haven't wrecked or had any problems with it so far, though the fact that I live only a mile away from the bars could have something to do with it. I'm planning on doing it again tonight, so wish me luck!

i dont remember my first, although i think it was the time i rode down brookline hill ****faced, but the most memorable was when i was at tigerlily's bar on westland, and went to the bathroom, puked twice, thought "how the **** am i gonna ride home", but somehow stumbled out to my bike, and rode it perfectly fine, then puked some more at home before passing out. i officially can ride better than i can walk when drunk

A couple years ago I went to my buddy's going-away party and got smashed on Rhinelander beer (and a horrid drink made from the ends of a few different liquor bottles + wine). I had a Schwinn 5-speed Collegiate that I'd trash picked months before, and I had about 20 blocks to get home.
It was 3am on a Saturday in the middle of the summer, and the usual post-bar traffic was on the road. Lightless, I decided screaming was the best way to let people know I was coming. I started singing at the top of my lungs. No idea what I was saying, but I remember it being damn fun.
Seconds later, while climbing a hill, the grip slides completely off the bars (moustache-y cruiser type) in my hand and I almost fell over sideways. I found myself screaming, drunk as hell, weaving out of control, waving a detached rubber grip in hand. Absurdity...

last drunken ride..
last night...2:45am riding down market street so drunk the only time i stop/slow down is to throw up more....throwing up so hard at 6th and market crackheads try and pass me their pipe to ease my pain
by the time i make it to the bus terminal...i can't stand up anymore...bus driver has to secure my bike to the bike rack...plus wake me up when we hit oakland, where 2 alameda county deputies laugh at me as i somehow miss my pedals and fall into a fence...i don't think they thought i was going to ride away, cause their expressions changed somewhat as i sprinted into the darkness...

we heeled riders must band together.
i am all about the heeled riding in general. drunk it is much more fun. plus if you need to put a foot down, you've got insta-stilts. easy.

Don't remember the first drunk ride but it was definitely this summer. Haven't bailed drunk yet but I ate ***** on the way to getting drunk once. Geared bike with a broke back brake/****ty front break + heave shopping bag of mixers + trying to switch hands in order to be able to stop = mmm.... pavement

I had no idea of this, and maybe it's just like this here in California, but I had a cop tell me that if you get a BUI, they could take away your drivers license. That seems a bit extreme to me...

Actually - In California they can take away your license for a year - Only if get a BUI and your under 21.
Other than that - the max fine is $250. I haven't heard of anyone getting one - here in SF.

My favorite drunken bike adventure was when I couldn't get my feet properly clipped into my SPD's after trying for about 5 minutes. So instead I pretended to be a pony and "trotted" alongside my bike all the way home. . . and fell a couple of times.

i don't generally get black out drunk, but if i ride home drunk. i end up just riding much faster than i don't have normally and avoiding stopping. Since i'm partially numb i couldn't tell that i was tired or uncomfortable due to the cold/warm/humid weather.
i also don't think that it will be that bad, until i ride about 50 feet, after a few blocks i move on and just want to get home.
