I rode 15 miles at night drunk as a skunk once. I don't recommend it.

Though it's irresponsible of me to write this; in my experience,ones fluidity and nerve can be enhanced after some small imbibing. So, I agree with John F. - judgement goes first then balance.

In Nottingham we have an annual pub crawl on unicycles which can include anything up to 14 pubs. I'll admit that in most of the pubs we only have a half pint of ale, but normally we often stay in the last pub for a few more. Even after this amount of alcohol, I've always managed to ride the 5 miles home ok. As John says, though, your judgement does go, and it can be hard to ride past the kebab shop without stopping

A few months ago my local pub closed down. It was literally just over the road for me, so I now have to go about 3/4 mile for anywhere decent. So, I take the opportunity to ride there, have 4 or 5 pints and then ride and back. Having the uni propped up in the corner of the bar always causes a few comments, the most common being "I bet you don't ride it home after a few pints". Knowing how many regulars there drive home after the same amount, I enjoy pointing out that it's the safest and quickest way to get home!
