We're Alcoholics on Bikes, Apparently

[Irulan]

you don't know any sober alcoholics?

[coyote]

you don't know any sober alcoholics?

Depends on what time of day as to whether they are sober or not

[Skierchickie]

Youch! I know tons and tons of sober alcoholics (my DH, my best friend, .... and a zillion other people)! It's called recovery - alcoholism is a disease, and doesn't just go away. There are active alcoholics, and there are recovering alcoholics.

(steps down off soapbox and apologizes for ranting)

The same assumptions about bikers go around here, too, as well as people riding scooters. It couldn't possibly just be about exercise, fresh air, and being environmentally & fiscally responsible.

I'm drunk right now.

Yes ma'am! Here, here!!

In Southern Belle's and my hometown, we have a drunk who rides his bicycle to the liquor store, wearing jeans and toting his little brown paper bagged beverage with him.

My mother calls him Odie, the name of some famous drunk on a bicycle.
