Exactly !
I'd never get in a car with a pissed driver, if you die it's your own stupid fault.
We used to drive a long way to get to clubs and back, for some reason i felt alot safer if the drunk driver dosed a pill before setting off. I don't know if i was right to feel safer or not.

Not only is it safer for everyone else on the road...but you get some good exercise, save on gas money, and help reduce pollution too!

Also, I mean...riding a bike while on a drug puts ME at risk, not anyone else. It's obvious which vehicle would come out on top if I forgot to look at a stoplight and a car mowed me over. 
So it's up to me to keep a look out and to exercise proper safety procedures. -travel at my own risk. (I like that)

I can honestly say I've never drove under the influence of alcohol or psychadelics, none at all, it's not safe for me or other drivers. I've driven stoned, but I wouldn't ever again.
I don't drive now, so it's easy to avoid.
I have taken a couple pretty serious crashes while drunk on my bike or walking. Scrapes and scratches, didn't kill anyone.

I'm not gonna read all these replies but I'd like to say a big FUCK YOU to anyone who drives impaired, for whatever reason. Whether it's alcohol or some other drug, lack of sleep or whatever. If you can't operate your car safely than you're being a sack of shit for climbing behind the wheel. I've lost friends to drunk drivers and the offenders have all been repeat DUI's. I really think the first DUI should be a year suspension of the license + 2 weeks in jail + community service and scale up fast from there. If you manage to get a 3rd DUI you should go to prison for a couple years in my opinion. It's reckless, heartless, stupid and should be punished accordingly.

Don't forget that you can and will be charged for DUI while operating a bike aswell doesn't matter if it has a motor or not its still a vehicle.

I was not aware of that. I wonder if .08 applies to bikes in Minnesota. I'll hassle some cop sometime to find out.

That's true, but I'll likely only be killing myself on a bike.

Bullshit. You have a choice. It's between an inconvenience for you which is probably partly your fault anyway or the possible death or serious injury to yourself and others. That's a no brainer to the point of not even being a choice if you're even a half decent person.

driving drunk really isnt as bad as alot of ppl think. Like yes being plastered and so, but if your a little buzzed its not realy that bad.
Most of the time i drink and drive its like 1 mile to my house.
It sucks my friend got busted for a DUI while driving like 1/4 of a mile home after drinking 2 beers.
thats just such bs.

I've driven a lot with beer buzzes.. I don't drive after being totally wasted or whatever.
in some cases it actually improves driving (of course I'm talking about mild beer buzz here). I've always been confident and very coordinated anyways, no matter what.

Well answer me this, Mr. Omnipotent: Suppose you're at a party and have been drinking and smoking. You plan on staying for a while, but suddenly a your even more drunk friend ends up getting his ass kicked. You don't have much experience fighting, and there's too many of them anyway. Do you (a) sit there and let him take the punches, or (b) get him in the car and drive him the fuck out of there?
You really think you can predict ever fucking situation someone might unexpectedly find themselves in? Get the fuck over yourself!

I'd say A...because my "friend" probably deserved the ass-kicking he got. People rarely gang up on a drunk guy without a solid reason for doing so. If a friend of mine gets himself into that kind of situation...well I'm sorry but it's his own damn fault, and that's not enough reason for me to get behind the wheel after I've been drinking.

Fuck, I'd hate to be your friend. He got enough punches in already to get what he deserved. I didn't want to see the guy get a concussion.
