Have you ever gotten a DUI from your own beer?

Have you ever gotten a DUI while being drunk on your very own, homemade beer?

 

[hillybilly]

I make it a point of never even having one drink and driving. It is just not worth the cost.

 

[dmashl]

It is just plain stupid to drink and drive....PERIOD!!!

Agreed.

 

[Dirty25]

If I drink I walk, so no.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

nope. just as been said: not worth the cost. and the cost not being only of monetary value.

That is the joy of home brew, you can drink it at home. I had a friend tell me he was too drunk to drive, when he drove home from my house. I haven't asked him back because he now put me in the position of "mothering/monitoring his drinking". I thought that was a real jerk thing for him to do on many levels. Why would he tell me that?

better he told you than not. you can't always stop the stupidity of others but you can take yourself out of the equation.

One of the best parts of homebrew is the "home" part.

The other best part of homebrew is the "brew" part.

 

[jiggs_casey]

HAHAHAHA! Seriously?!

 

[MarcusKillion]

Nope but i did get an FUI .. Fu**ed Up Intensely .

 

[Mordhaus]

Thread backfire? Methinks.

I have gotten pretty silly on my homebrew before, but I was already home. No driving involved.

 

[JonM]

It's home brew. You make it and drink it at home. Where could one have to go after drinking homebrew at home?

 

[Mongrel]

I have not, but I know that it has happened to people leaving homebrew club meetings.

If I ever go somewhere where I will be drinking, I ride my bike. Obviously if Im too inebriated then I wouldnt ride either.

Henry22 - Not sure where you are, but in NJ you can gt a DUI and lose your drivers license on a bicycle. It is considered a vehicle and you must obey all the same laws as a motorized vehicle.

 

[Nightshade]

Never had a DUI and never plan to, it's pure stupidity.

If friends come over and have too much then they can crash here, same if I go to their houses. Would rather be inconvenienced for a night than lose a friend to prison or death.

I think its the same here but the risk is much less and Im not going to hurt anyone. Like I said, if I dont think I can ride my bike I dont.

You can get one on a horse too. Which is why I no longer call your mom after I have been drinking. :rockin:

Damn, that sucks. I wish SC didn't consider bikes a vehicle. A lot of states dont. SC is usually on the tail end of anything progressive. A lot of the more progressive states have recently changed it so that there are separate laws for BUI or they don't consider bikes vehicles in order to decrease drunk driving.

I know Oregon, Washington and California all consider it a DUI. Pretty sure the only state I have lived in that didn't was Montana but not 100% on that.

The ones that don't wil still call it an OUI or Operating Under Influence which covers a wider range but still a lesser charge.

I was at a party when I lived in North Platte Nebraska and had a couple dozen too many so I left my car and walked the 12 blocks home, almost got a public intoxication ticket when I stumbled over a twig that apparently wasn't there:cross:

No I learned my lesson after the first time. We have a local legend that has gotten a DUI or omvi on just about every thing possible. Horse, riding lawn mower, bike, etc etc

Fact is craft beer drinkers are a different breed. Yeah we do get drunk on occasion but we are dumb kids chugging beers.
