So....being the bright one that I am, last weekend we drink all the beer in the house. I tell my old lady that I'll ride her road bike down to the store (about four blocks, the bike has flat pedals, this will play in later). So I go to the store to buy a couple of 40s and find that its a bit less than getting than getting an 18 pack of PBR so I buy that. So I'm all drunk and riding back.

Its hard to balance, being drunk and riding with an eighteen pack hanging off your arm. So I shift up to pedal harder and after a few strokes I slip my right pedal(with the eighteen being held onto by my left hand) and it is enough force to knock me off the bike and I crash onto the 18 pack....on the pavement. I cut my hands up, killed 9 beers and to boot two retarded guys that lived in a house near where i crashed started laughing at me. I walked the remainder block and a half to my house, with my nine beers bleeding everywhere and missed the cyclocross race the next day.

Ouch.

One of the first times I got drunk in my early teens (brag brag) I decided it was time to go back home. I was all wobbles after a beer or two in the park. Went over to my BMX, grabbed the handle bar to stand the bike up, and proceeded to pull myself over onto my bike, various body parts landing on the pedal, handle bar, and peg. Hurt like a mofo, but was too funny to not just lie there with a drunken laugh.

Not as spectacular as yours, but I'm sure it looked really stupid/funny.

I got an aluminum rack off of an old rusty GT and put it on my single speed getabout. It's awesome for store runs. People are alot more interested in my sub $200 junk part single speed than my $1000 plus hardtail freeride. "Hey, what kind of bike is that?" Go figure.

I stole a keg of beer from a Fraternity the one summer I stayed up at school. After finishing it off I tried returning it for the deposit the following day. There were many crashes on the way to the store and while returning with the additional beer the deposit had purchased. I always did the honorable thing and sacrificed my body to save the beer.

A public intoxication misdemeanor, possibly, but not at all the same thing as a license-yanking DUI.
Varies State to state. I know in Mass it is full blown DUI, Not that that stopped me.

Me and My buddies riding home drunk from a bar, we were crossing the old mass ave bridge when My room mate passed out while riding . was a spectaculr crash. we got him back up and he continued to ride home. the next morning he woke , up hurting from the crash and wanted to know what bar he had gotten his ass kicked in.


and another time I was riding home drunk from a Going away party at work, came up to Mass ave ( red light ) and I blew the light making a right turn , I was going a little to fast for the turn , and slammed right into a moving T-bus Bounced off and kept going. I`m sure if I was sober I would have crashed ( actualy sober I would not have gone around the corner that fast. )

That is just nuts! I actually have my bike in the back of my vehicle sometimes just in case I drink too much!
I did the same a bunch of times when I lived up in San Luis Obispo (small college town in CA).

Now that I'm in Orange County, I keep a furniture blanket in the pickup truck (with a shell) that I can pass out in if I'm that messed up. Werd.

I've tried that before but got sick of waking up at 2:30am either shivering and hypothermic or staring at the shiny end of an HID flashlight to the tap-tap-tap of a tonfa on my window.

That reminds me of a very similar thing I did once. Riding back from the store, I attempted to ride off the curb into the street (at pretty high speed) and, ta-da, didn't see the cable that tethers the telephone pole.

Clipped it with my handlebar and did a really dramatic one-handed, footless flail over the bars and into the street.

I had a good one coming out of a bar. I was on the urban bike and i tried to do the manual-to-curb-hop-to-manual thing. Needless to say my balance wasn't all there and as soon as I got up the curb the bike looped out and I landed flat on my back.

Only my pride was hurt but hey
